Hi everyone, I am having a problem with the front hydraulics on my 06 s130 bobcat, I will try to explain. When i engage the front hydraulics by pushing the button an exclamation point pops up on the panel and they dont work. If I cycle it through by pushing 3 or more times they work and the exclamation point goes away. I checked the fluid level and it is fine. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I also tried to find an error code and the display said "no codes". Thanks Eric

Are you checking for codes while the exclamation point is lighting up? Codes only show up in the hourmeter while they are active. Sounds like maybe a loose wire or bad switch if the control handle as my first guess.

Eric, I assume the button you are initially pushing is the green "let's operate" button, then you get the exclamation warning light. At that point, I think you push and hold the "front lights" button for about 10 seconds. This should display your error codes instead of the hour meter, cycling through the codes. If only one code, then it's displayed and nothing changes until you let off the lights button. I've found I can get good service from the Bobcat service manager on what the error codes mean.
---RCThanks, I will try the error codes when the light comes on and see what it displays.Eric, I assume the button you are initially pushing is the green "let's operate" button, then you get the exclamation warning light.
