Cat 312 gray no electricity to console

rudeag ยท 2018-10-11 14:44

Machine had sat for a while and have a solar charger on the batts. Turned key on and started machine and ran thru the motions. Killed the machine and everything went dead, the console is dead and engine will not turn over. Batts are charged and master switch is on. Nuttin. Ideas?

    Loose battery clamp and fuses would be a good start for checking!

    Bad battery ground connection and fusible link somewhere?

    Does it have a battery relay? My E70's battery relay arched and burnt wiring back to my control panel. hugs, Brandi

    All batt connections are good. Have power on most fuses but not all. No power to ignition switch or console. All electrical components "look" good as in no burnt wires or arcing seen. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Had same problem rats got into the wiring. pull your covers that are under the engine look at the wiring harness.

    You didn't provide a SN for the 312. . . . but here is a wiring diagram for a 312B. -It MIGHT- get you 'into the ballpark' for diagnosis but without a SN . . . it might not help much.
