873G highflo wont start or turn off

leadchunker · May 17, 2015

Need help to get this problem solved. Replaced left front seal/axle/bearings. Replaced right rear seal/axle/bearings. Ran the machine for 10 minutes loading debris and would die after stopping while moving in reverse. Cranks right back up. Did this 5 more times and now wont start/turn over, or turn off. Power stays on for left side of panel in cab and no power on the right panel. Checked fuzes and unplugged wire harness connections and plugged them back looking for a loose connection. Dropped the cab back down rather hard. Started up again and died after a minute or so. No smoking wire. Really confused at this point.

Do you have keyless start?

Yes we have a keyless start. We turned off the start code because the numbers were getting worn out a year ago.

My guess is your right panel has stopped communicating with the left. You can "downgrade" to a key panel that you can buy on ebay. I'd take it to a dealer to make sure the two aren't communicating.

Seems the harness connector at the right computer was corroded as well as the main fuse to the right panel. Runs great now.
