1999 Bobcat 751 Bics Issues Machine will not move or lift

[djkeith]

Hi everyone.. I need help. I was taking my machine to job site and was caught in a huge down pour . Machine was soaked. It started up ran fine did the job. I loaded it took it home. I went to unload it off trailer and when I went to start it started. I went to push off parking brake and machine stalled . I went to restart and ignition was dead but still had headlights..I replaced 15amp fuse and machine started. but it will not unlock traction lock. I had lights on bics but when I pushed traction lock button bics went out. I repalced battery terminals and now have bics lights again. I know have power light activation and lap bar but the valve and traction lights both blink 3 times then stop, 3 times then stop. Machine will not unlock to move. I checked ohms on bics solenoid and it was at about 10.2 ohms. I am completely lost. Machine has ran great until this point.. I was opening up harness to look for bare wire and nothing. I was also checking for water and did find some in some of the connections. I dried them out and put eletro grease in them. After doing that I only get power light on bics and lap bar... Help please..

Remove all the fuses and check for corrosion. Clean or replace if they look suspect. 9 times out of 10 thats the cause if the lights are coming and going.

And don't forget the relays

I was told dielectric grease is a insulator and not to bury the contacts in it just use on the surface around to prevent corrosion.

First off THANK You All for the POSTS.. I went out and poked around the machine again.. Things didn't make sense to me.. I started machine and played around with parking brake switch. I clicked it back and forth then held switch in with my foot. Bam all the lights on BICS came on and wedge clicked. Then I let my foot off and it clicked and went back into safe mode with lights blinking on BICS. I popped open cab and chased the wire to the plug and unpluggged it and now machine is running great.. I'm thinking that the switch itself had went bad and cause BICS to fault out.. I'm really not sure, but crossing my fingers that this fixed the issue
