753 Traction control and Lift Arm issue

[vortechx]

Hi Guys I have a 2000 753 that has worked fine up until last week when the traction control would not unlock at times and was getting progressivly worse.I drove it off the trailer onto the road and i could not get the traction lock to unlock and the override did nothing.With the bobcat in the middle of the road and no way to move it,i removed the seat and removed the solenoid that controls the parking brake and clamped it up or off position with channel locks.Now i was able to move the machine but now the lift arms wont stay up.They go up fine but wont hold when the pedal is released.Please let me know how to correct this problem.Thanks in advance for your help.

More than likely a sensor, have you checked your BICS box? are all the lights lit?
Thats your best place to start, it sounds like a sensor problem, if it detects there is a *fault* it will try to keep you safe by locking you out. Usually the seat rots out causing this problem.
