240 parking brake problem

[Caspers Ghost]

Good evening, folks. I have a 240 skid steer. The parking brake starting activating as we were using it. For awhile you could push the parking brake switch and it would keep rolling. Now the left side locks up but the right side will move. No bucket movement. I tried the basics, replaced the switch, replaced the seat sensor. Where do I start? It is on a project site and we cannot get to it to load it up and bring it to the shop. I need to get it moved out of the way so the project can proceed. The parking brake system on this machine has always been a nuisance but this time it left me stumped. Thanks in advance.

200 series are notorious for electrical problems many times it is the dash display as everything is grounded through it. That's is why any low houred machines are suspect. Otherwise seat belt sensors were problematic.
