I have a new Holland lx465 skid steer. When I sit on the seat most of the lights on the eci light up. When I fasten the seat belt that light will not go off. When I turn the Key on the alarm sounds. This issue happened to me several months ago. I did nothing and the next day it was fine. I'm great full for any help

I would say if the light does not go out that the safety switch with the lap belt is bad,try shaking or repeately connecting it and see if it goes out just to see if it is the culprit.

there might also be a safety switch under the seat that is bad or going bad, , OR there could be an electrical short some place from wire damage from time passing or a rodent having chewed on it r??
also check all the electrical connections on safeties to make sure they have good corrosion free connections

I replaced the set switches after one of them tested bad. The skid steer started up and I was able to use it. The next day the issue came back.

I'm going to start checking for bad wires.

With my L-465 .. once you are in the seat the ECU goes through a self check of all the lights and goes out . Then I attach the seat belt and then turn the key on to allow for preheat and once that countdown is complete can you start the engine. Should I forget to engage the seat belt I have to get my ass off the seat to start the whole process again and do it in that order.

Occasionally blow compressed air thru the seat belt assembly to clean out the crud.

Like other commenters... check all the fuses in the engine compartment and in the access panel to the operators upper right side for continuity and corrosion.

PM me with your email address if you need the operator's manual or the service manual and Messicks is my go-to for parts and diagrams.

Also, put on your wish list of things to do..... take the right side engine compartment panel off and cut off the top 1/3 horizontally. Then weld tabs on the bottom portion of the panel to engage the top portion that you just cut off. Why you might ask? Should you ever have the misfortune of having a starter motor decide to no longer function and your bucket is on the ground, it turns a 30 minute R&R into a several hour exercise because with the boom down, you cannot remove the side panels without the above modification. The manual says that you can R&R the starter motor from inside with the elevated seat , but only in your dreams IMHO.

Enjoy you new toy.....

Hello again. I did all the wiring checks and found no problems. After looking at the manual, I than tried to put the eic into diagnostics mode and it won't go there. Is there a positive way to know if the eic is bad? Is there a way to just check the eic?

I do not know if it will help any, but try to disconnect the battery for 5 min. and let the computer reboot.

I disconnected the battery when I was doing wire checks. Approximately 2 hrs
