[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 103486, member: 26"] Sounds like two issues. One is the leaking valve, and the second is related to the BICS system. I have no experience with the valve leaking. With the BICS, my first thought is again to suspect the seat switch or lapbar switch. Try leaning into the cab and working the seat back back-and-forth while watching the BICS box to see if the seat switch LED comes on and off as is should. Same for the lapbar LED. Some folks fix the issue with the seat switch by relocating the switch and glueing the magnet in place; other will say that's not a good idea to bypass that protection. Up to you. Bobcat at one point sold a "bypass" switch assembly for the seat switch. In my case, I've just played with the switch mounting (under the operator's right thigh, forward bolt on the seat) and shimmed with washers till the switch worked OK when I was seated. It's a bit tricky to get it right. BTW, those use a magnetic switch and no one has yet figured out a way to remove the switch and jumper the three connector pins on the harness. :-) ---Bobbie-G [/QUOTE]
