Mine has module under cab behind operators left shoulder, aluminum box 7 by 4 by 2, 3 wire harnesses coming out of it, $500.00Non returnable unless dealer installed, (did I mention my favourite dealer is 300 miles away) So anyway they faxed me 8 pages from a 873 manual (which has lots of detail, my 853 manual  has notihing on aux switches and codes) to trouble shoot.Then I go down the road to a local guy who bought a 853 from the local stealer who kinda owes me one for coming down to help him fix something the local dealer would'nt and talk him into borrowing his module. Put it in, same symtoms.So according to the fax, the flashing code I'm getting can also be a poor conection or broken wire, so I checked the harness coming from the steering lever and imediately the lights begins to flash. Presto, 1 orange wire with pierced insulation has about 5 strands left connected.Sodered in new piece of wire, mowed brush for @ 1 hour and no trouble yet. Fingers stilled crossed but I think I got it. Whew, I'm really starting to hate Bobcat "modules"Ken</blockquote>
