Hello, I have a cat 262b Skidsteer. I just replaced the pilot control valve, serviced, and fixed a few seals. When I tuned the key to the on position it started cranking. I never messed with the starter or any electrical stuff. I’m stumped. Any help would be great.
Did you move any wiring harness around while doing your repairs
Yeah, I removed the hydronic tank to get to the ac condenser and fans.
The main harness is back there so it got moved around.
Any ideas?
Well in this instance there are flowing electrons where there shouldn't be - Also seems like a unique situation as it did not present it self until the work had been performed. I may be wrong but don't think you are going to find an answer online. I suggest you retrace your steps and then begin electronic trouble shooting. ET does offer the "Wiggle Test" Function that may be of use to you right now - Obviously you are going to have to isolate the starter for KOEO. You may also pull up some parameters within ET - Check to see if there are any abnormalities.
The ecm is full of water or there's a harness problem id bet
Is water intrusion a common concern with this application?
The ECMs are located under the floor up against the front of the chassis "tub" which is not 100% watertight. These machines often get taken swimming which leads to water entry and when it drains it leaves a mud buildup under the floor. It's not hard to come to a conclusion based on that information.
