Cat 216b Wont Turn over

nickbowers ยท 2010-11-09 04:34

Hi, I have a 226b i was using to clean up my front yard. Everything was fine i then turned it off to put stuff in the bucket and then went to turn it back on and it lights up as usual but wont turn over. The buzzer just beeps. Any ideas where to start? I have 30min of light(well its kinda dark now) and its blocking my drive way :Banghead Cheers, Nick

    i think it must be a sensor, as it doesnt even attempt to turn over and i have checked the battery and it is right. Cheers, Nick

    is either the parking brake or the seat belt indicator flashing? This is how it tells us a code if it has one. Is it 1 of them, both or neither flashin?

    the bar/safty belt light goes off when you put it down so its not that. The brake light is on and i can turn it off aswell. Never tried to do it before a machine was not started so i dont know if you should be able to do it. Regards

    Well, it's not in the interlock electronic control system. the hydraulic and start system is easily checked with CAT ET. Since we kno you dont have that check start fuse 1st. That would be # 14 below. After that there is a safety relay in back. Has 306gn 202bk 109rd 304wh wires going to it. Swap this relay with another to see if it will start. After this you will need to check voltage, grounds and resistence to this relay, fuse and key switch. You really need some1 with experience to do this. Try the fuse and see if you can spot and swap relay though...never know that might work. The fuse box is behind your right shoulder sitting in seat and the relays are behind/beside the air intake housing in the engine compartment. Good Luck!

    thanks for the detailed reply, turned out to be a loose wire on the starter motor solenoid. Cheers, Nick
