Bobcats175

I have a bobcat s175 the aux hyd use to work. It has been a cpl of years since used it on post hole digger because we have two skid loaders but we got a grapple bucket and the aux hyd don't even try to work. I've checked the fuses. Lifted the cab checked all wires and plugs still nothing

Does the indicator light light up? Other than that I would check for power to the valve under the cab. Maybe remove the coil and check for rust inside

When not used for a long time, they can stick. I bought a machine used that was sitting for a few months, one direction didn't work. I pulled and cleaned the stem and it has worked great ever since.

I pulled both coils cleaned them and still nothing but how do I check electricity to the coils with the cab up?

With the coils off, you can have the cab in the air, started and the aux enabled, when you hit the thumnb switch, it should activate the coil. You can feel it if you put a screwdriver through the hole and it is activated.
Pretty sure the aux still works with the cab up, don't quote me on that though.....

Well maybe I'm doing something wrong because the best I can remember before all I did was hook the post whole digger to the two bigger hyd ports on the front and used one of switches on the rh handle

You should have had to hit a button on the dash to enable the aux hydraulics, they do not automatically work when you hit the thumb switch, not sure why, but it's how they did it.
