Bobcat 853 Aux Solenoid stuck on- Wont allow lift and tilt

[Buddyjconley]

Hello all, I am new here and have had great luck with my machine thus far. I have a '94 853 that sat unused for a few weeks and now the lift and tilt only go up and wont come down until I turn the machine off then they go down perfectly. Upon troubleshooting I found that the rear aux solenoid is coming on when I turn the key. I switched the solenoids and the front one on the rear is doing the same thing. Currently turning the aux switch on and hitting the handle trigger does nothing. When I disconnect the solenoid the machine operates as it should, but I use the aux as much as I use the bucket. Any ideas? Thanks so much..

Problem solved-- I installed a new ignition switch and a green wire with yellow tracer for some reason connects to the rear aux solenoid was orig installed on the acc stud, I just disconnected the wire and all is well- after tracing wires back for 2 hours- I lost my jump drive with the manual on it, so no idea what that wire is really for.

Sounds like odd wiring, at least you worked it out. I found weird wiring in my 753g, it was wired so the lights were on all the time, the jumper was behind the fuse box, lucky i found it.
