JD 450D LC Control Handles inop

Brian4021 ยท 2020-04-30 09:33

Machine has 14000 hours and has been relatively trouble free the last year or so, but just this morning one of the operators went out to it and it will not operate. No tracks or stick/bucket or swing. Disassembled to gain access to the switches for the dead man lever and switches checked ok. Machine ran fine yesterday and all fluids check ok. It will not throttle up (when in auto idle) when control handles are moved either so I believe it to be electrical. I have zero access to Diagnostics and have no errors or alarms on the display.

    Welcome to HEF Brian ! Thanks for posting the serial number. Did you check all your fuses? If you press and hold the top right button on your monitor, then key on, after bulb check release the top right button. Then press the menu button (button with horizontal lines), then use the top two buttons on the left to scroll to the service menu. When service menu is highlighted then press the select button (that would be the button under the picture with a finger). Scroll to troubleshooting and press select. If any controllers indicate they have codes highlight that controller and press select. Report back with any codes you find with any of the controllers.

    Hi Brian, You take some photos of monitor display, I'm sure monitor has to inform the error codes.

    Thank you all for the replies. Turns out, the issue was a burnt fuse.... The fuse was not blown for the control solenoid (10A mini) but the end was burnt off of it so when I tested with my voltmeter it showed good. Ended up pulling them all out to look for signs of corrosion and found it.
