[QUOTE="AndyDWA, post: 130468, member: 20615"] EDIT: Problem “solved” - see end comment I’ve had this 1990 L555 Deluxe for around 2 years and it generally behaves well. Yesterday, one of the headlights popped out when I hit a small tree branch. I left it hanging while I headed back to its parking area. With engine running, I turned ignition key to centre position to prevent boom moving while I reseated the lamp. The boom was partly raised. Then I turned key back to normal running position and went to raise boom a little - but it [B]won’t move up or down[/B]. It makes the same small “try-fail” movement it makes when key is in boom lock position. [B]Bucket operates normally[/B]. The headlights work, so I assume I haven’t tripped a breaker. I doubt the headlamp has anything to do with it, but mentioned it for completeness. I have read several threads on the solenoid valve and will do my best to check that out. I’m hoping it’s just a loose wire somewhere. The [B]seat-lock circuit and control module have been completely removed [/B]on this machine (I bought it that way) but everything has been working fine until yesterday. Could tapping the solenoid to “unstick” it prove useful if I determine it has power? How difficult is it to remove? One comment mentioned dropping the fuel tank. I’m not sure my abilities run that deep. A guy on YouTube destroyed his solenoid to get it out but was able to put a new one in. Can I apply power direct from battery to solenoid to see if it operates? Anyone know of an Aussie distributor who might carry parts? Do third-party parts exist? Lots of questions but I want to be prepared. Thanks. edit: I just went out to take a look at it, and, after sitting overnight, the boom operated normally. [/QUOTE]
