753 Traction Control Lock

[eprn1n2]

Hello All I'm also having trouble with the traction control. I tried replacing the solenoid but could not get the plunger out. I put the new solenoid over the old plunger but it still give me the 6 flashes on the Traction indicator. I would like to bypass the traction lock. The solenoid has three wires, black, red, and white. Can I power the solenoid directly from the battery to get this thing back to my shed?

I was able to use vise grips to keep the plunger up while I moved it to the shed. At least I can now work in comfort.

Others have used a hose clamp to hold it in place too.
I wonder if it could be a bad relay makeing the new solenoid not work too.

The lock solenoid for the hydraulics is in the same circuit as the traction lock. If you take the 3 bolts out below the solenoid the plate comes off and the wedge and pin come out. Of you jump the wires you have to be careful because the pickup side should only have power for a short time then the hold circuit holds it otherwise things get hot fast
