BICS malfunctioning?

[DarinC]

Good afternoon. This is my first post. Found the site during a search. I have an early 2000's 763G. Recently the left control panel has been acting up. First. All the amber lights on the panel used to work, however, all the lights have gone out except the "traction". Everything still ran and functioned though. Second. The work lights went out. Used to work but now when I press the button nothing comes on. Lastly. If I lift the seat bar while the machine is running for some reason the BICS does not recognize me lowering the seat bar back down. I have to shut the machine off and restart it with the seat bar down otherwise I cannot activate the "press to operate loader" button. Any ideas? Is there some way to diagnose where the problem might be? Thank you Darin

How much play is in the bushings that the seat bar pivot on? If there is too much play the magnetic switch doesn’t work right. Are you getting any fault codes? Assuming it’s new enough if you push and hold the light button it will display codes. Have you checked fuses? They are under the cover between your feet

Thank you. I'll check everything you mentioned and get back.
