[QUOTE="jasonstalker, post: 71931, member: 10289"] Having issues with an 04-05ish Bobcat S185 skid steer. While using it one day, I had turned it off to use the phone. When I went to start it back up a few minutes later, nothing. It has a keypad style start (keyless). When you press the run/enter button, the screen turns on. I can enter the code and then when I press "start", there is a click in the engine compartment but that is it. The starter does not turn over at all. But, we are able to get the machine to start when we cross over the starter. We have tried a few different things trying to figure out what the problem is. We cleaned up the battery cables and battery terminals. We replaced the ground battery cable. Replaced the starter. Replaced the keypad. From what I have read it is likely the fuel pump clicking when I press the starter button. Any ideas on what it could be? I planned on checking the connections on the fuel solenoid tomorrow. I cant imagine it would be the fuel solenoid having problems though if I can start it by crossing over the starter. Or am I wrong on that? Thanks for anyone's input in advance. [/QUOTE]
