Bobcat T300

Customer Had us go pick up his T300 for a fuel leak. When I got it back to the Shop Battery was dead so we cleaned everything up and put a new battery in the machine. Machine will fire up put lap bar down and light comes on saying lap bar is down, hit the green button to unlock traction and hyd lock and nothing happens. Now for the fun part. When I turn the machine on the work light come on without hitting the button and you cant turn them off. When you shut the machine down everything will shut off like it should then the left panel will read input. Sometimes the work lights will come on and off with machine not on or running. Not sure what to go after first.

    Watch out for a fire, if your run system is hot with the key off. Is it possible that the owner wired the work lights to battery or the work light switches are bad. The panel powering up after shut down, indicates some Mickey Mouse wiring. Fuel leak could be fuel solenoid is powered up, without the engine running.
