I just replaced it a few months ago, but I'll double check in the next day or 2. It seems that I have a loose connection in the traction lock solenoid wiring harness preventing the hydraulic pump from starting. I can touch the red wire in that harness while the cab is up and the engine running and hear the pump engage hence the machine operates normally. When the pump isn't running, the transmission warning light (left one on lh dash) is lit red, when I jiggle harness and get the pump running, light goes off. The loose connection is preventing the pump from starting. Obviously I can't raise the cab every time I want to run the machine (I guess I could), so I want to disconnect the harness and check/tighten the connections. My concern was the DO NOT MODIFY zip tie holding the harness together and cutting that strap without knowing why it can't be modified. I plan on chocking the tires, lift arm down, disconnecting battery prior to unhooking the harness and cleaning/tightening the connections. Years of working on my Yamaha outboard have taught me to look before I leap. I'm on the coast and salt air eats everything! Thanks!</p></blockquote><p></p>
