[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 124104, member: 7474"] I’m talking about all the wire harness connections. Including the ones with nothing hooked up ( dirt and water get in these and can short them out). Like where the Tech hooks up the computer above the battery ( this is also where the 7 or 14 pin connector hooks up for attachment with electronics). On my A300 the “computer” connection above the battery was facing up and had collected all sorts of dirt. it now has a cover on it. The connections may “look” good but just a little corrosion or moisture inside the wire connections can cause a voltage drop and shorts. A short in what seems to be an unrelated area could also be the issue. I know how frustrating problems like this can be. At this point I would be trying anything and everything. Just to give you an idea, here is a video of a professional Bobcat Tech going through wiring trying to find a problem. The connections “looked“ good. (I know you have an older machine then in the video. The newer R series machines have been very problematic with moisture.) [MEDIA=youtube]1uvoMvb-QFg[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
