[QUOTE="Mike10, post: 65837, member: 5461"] One possible cause would be the seat wiring harness. The way these machines were originally designed was for the power to go to the seat switch and then to the seat belt via the seat switch. What happened is when traveling down a drive or over rough terrain the operator would temporarally lift enough weight off the seat to cut the power to the seat belt and instrument panel and lock the foot pedals and in some cases lock the parking brake depending on how long the power was cut off. The work around was to rewire the plug at the seat switch so power was sent independently to both the seat switch and seat belt. A new harness is now available that is wired this way. You might take a look at the seat switch to see if it is in the right position. Also take a look at the wires going into the wire connector. Give them a tug to make sure you do not have a broken wire at the connector. This was a common issue at one time but so much on your age machine. You might also want to check the grounds at the left rear cab pillar. You will need to remove the left fender. The grounds are located right below where the cab bolts down to the yellow frame. There are also a number of harness connectors in this area you might want to check them to see if any of the pins or sockets are slightly pushed out of position. When this happens does the activate button light up like you have to push it to enable the hydraulics and release the parking brake? Will it always work on restart and pressing the enable button?
