quiktach won't release

[SNunley]

Hello, Newbie here... First skidsteer and first post. A month ago I bought a 333E with 1K hours. Using a bucket, blade and most recently a JD worksite extreme brush cutter @ 1600lbs. It had always worked before but now when I try to disengage quiktach there is no response (or electrical motor noise). All appears connected at ram/electrical motor. Was going to check fuse per manual but when I open panel access door no fuses are visible and it looks like they may be stuffed sidewards in individual covered boxes. Can't check without further disassembly. Sound correct? If so, trying to figure out how to access. it looks like taking off side panel inside cab would be next and that looks like it could get involved. Am I missing something? Are there other things I should be checking first? Many thanks in advance for responses and suggestions. Steve

Can you call your dealer and ask for advise? Generally the service people are pretty helpful, as you do need them for spare parts, they try and help out.

Remove the little panel inside the right side of the cab. Flip up (or down) the zip ties to remove plastic covers. F14 30 A (top right behind top cap) and F15 15 A (bottom left under bottom cap) fuses control the Quicktach. Not difficult to do.

Thanks for the responses Tazza and mg2361. My manual id'd the the 14 fuse. I had opened the panel and ran into the rubber covers. I was expecting the fuse panel to be visible and facing me and was a little concerned about just starting to open up random boxes. I'll give that a try and if no luck reach out to my service guy.
