1997 873c auxiliary hydraulic troubles

[mihastings]

Hello my name is Michael I'm new to this forum. I have a 1997 bobcat 873c serial# 514115088 (Boss) that I'm having an intermittent problem with the front auxiliary hydraulic circuit not working for a bradco backhoe that I'm trying to use.
When I push the button to engage auxiliary hydraulics once the top light illuminates and when I push the button twice the lower light illuminates then when I squeeze the trigger on the right steering handle the lower light goes out and the upper light flashes. Can someone please give me some ideas on the possible causes. Thanks.

Could you make a small video?

Hello Foxworthy cowboy.
The function for the front auxiliary is working again. More explanation. Just as I said before I push the auxiliary hydraulics button once and the top light illuminates push it again and the bottom light illuminates ( both lights are on) and then when I pull the trigger on the right control to start continuous flow to the backhoe the bottom light goes out and the upper light flashes (no flow to front attachment)
I noticed this happens the same way on the left joystick but instead of the upper light flashing the lower light flashes and the upper light goes out.
I checked all wiring and it looks good coils are good and coil stems are free
Could my problem be with a safety switch. Lap bar?
