dont really know dealer told me that their is a open circuit so they need to change the old one out. i cant get a seat bar light to come on the once the seat bar is down. sometimes it does turn on but sometimes it doesnt. so i cant really move the macine without pressing the overide. do you think their is a short somewhere??

If it was me, i'd pull the sensor out. Get a magnet and move it around to see if the light will light up. They can be a bit touchy, and they sensors do fail. They aren't simply on or off, so you can't by-pass them easily.

there are a couple of more websites you could try for a used 773 wiring harness , genieinabottle/threewishes.com , toothfairy/oldteeth.com and lebricons/rainbow.net ------ first off does your machine have a seat sensor , on the bics box it would be listed as seat then seat bar , this set up was upgraded to a box with out a seat sensor and sold as a kit , it can be bypassed with out the kit --------------- if the seat bar light wouldn't light up I would start with the seat bar sensor , either take the one out the seat bar or buy a new seat bar sensor complete , plug it into wiring harness and turn the magnet till it alignes with the sensor pickup and see if it will make the light go out , in a pinch if that works you can tape it all up and tie strap it to the cage and go on with business till you can change it out , if that don;t work I have seen bad connections on the plug that goes into the BICS box alot , you can grab the plug and push it in while you try to press the green button or take the plug out and check for corrosion in the plug ---------------- also inside the sensor for the seat bar is a plastic bushing that will wear a hole in it , when this happens the seat sensor will cock and not make good contact between the magnet and the pickup -----------it could also be a problem inside the controll panel , do you know someone with the same machine so you could try and swop panels and try it , if you have triangluar lights you can pop out the light , unplug the panel and pull the wire thru the light hole and plug it into the new panel without even pulling the panel out the dash ------------------when the light doesn't light are any of the lights flashing as it will try to throw you a code if something is wrong --------------

i dont think it has a sear sensor. i looked all under it and no wires for the seat or any sensors under it. i allready changed the seat bar sensor. but it looks like their is no power coming to the seat sensor. i have a s250 and everytime you turn on the switch it as power to one of the 3 wires going into the seat bar sensor. but this machine doesnt. i think their must be a brake in it somewhere but dont know where to start or where the wire gets its power from? this is a g series bobcat.

the websites listed to find a harness are use less unless we are trying to sew the seat covers. I have the same probelm. the golpers ate the wiring. I will pull it and repair but if I could find a complete harness i would rather install new. I have a 773 skid steer and need part number 6718912 main frame harness.
