    Check for short circuits. CAT is pretty good about numbering all of their wires. If you have a power probe it will be easy. If not, just trace the wire and look for anything obvious first. To make life easier, you may want to see if you can get the dealer to send you a schematic. Get yourself the proper amperage circuit breaker too while you search for the problem, it will save on fuses.

    I cant remeber for shure but I think those units had a problem down by the starter wiring rubbing on a fitting going in to the side of the engine block just above the starter. Just something to check

    Not familiar with that machine at all but I would start by unplugging all the components one at a time to see if you have a burned up component. Fuel solenoid, electric fuel pump. Things like that. Before tracing wiring harnesses. JJ
