cat 246b continuous flow problems

hello, Having problems with my continuous flow on my cat. When i do the sequence of rolling the wheel then hitting the lock button and releasing at the same time the continuous flow still wont lock. Is there a fuse or something i can check first before i start digging deep into this. Its getting really annoying holding the wheel down for my mower on the front. Thanks

    Not sure there is a fuse on that circuit. Post a machine Serial Number to identify the correct electrical schematic. You may have to start by checking whether the trigger switch is actually working or not.

    Serial number I think is PAT02704

    So long as it's PAT-something that's all I need. Locate the 12-pin electrical connector below the LH joystick. There should only be 4 wires coming into it from above if all you have is the Continuous Flow trigger plus a horn button. Unplug the connector and test for continuity between pins 11 & 12 when you press the trigger. Report your results.
