[QUOTE="Katep788, post: 129867, member: 23939"] I have a 1996 LX565 bought about 2 years ago. It will NOT start up and unlock the hydraulics like the manual says it should. It's always required this odd process to unlock the boom hydraulics. But even when the "spell" is performed exactly it hasn't always worked. But success has gone from about 90% of the time to less than 50% and I'm getting worried! If anyone has ANY ideas... Steps necessary to start skid and unlock boom hydraulics: 1) switch MUST be in Service (engine won't crank in Run) 2) key off 3) sit in seat and buckle seatbelt 4) start engine 5) move switch to Run 6) unbuckle and re-buckle seat belt USUALLY everything works after this boom electronics unlock. But not always. And the success rate is declining. About half the time the engine dies when the switch is moved from service to Run. If I forget to buckle the seatbelt before starting the tractor, switching it to run shuts it down AND I get an "error 2" Other information: EIC doesn't turn on when you sit in the seat Seatbelt safety light never turns on nor battery light Skid will not crank when the switch is in Run, only in Service I can unbuckle the seatbelt, get out and back in, and rebuckle the seatbelt and everything works The boom hydraulics do lock out if I unbuckle the belt or get out of the seat (tried to clasp the seatbelt and run the boom from outside and it is locked) If I stall the skid steer I can often (but not always) just restart it without having to buckle/unbuckle or move the Service/Run switch. But only if I do it relatively fast (???) and not every time. Checked: All seat switches were removed and checked and function properly EIC wires are continuous to the seat and seatbelt switches Seat pressure switch DOES have battery voltage all the time Verified activated seat pressure switch DOES pass voltage to EIC I tried to see if the EIC was locked but I can't get it into that mode because it won't start up without the key on Any suggestions??? I don't even know what else to look for. I'm currently cleaning the EIC which was full of debris and insects so maybe....??? Kate [/QUOTE]
