    The seat switch or solenoid it operates is not working.

    Was it harder to start? Check that aux. hydraulics aren't engaged or partially engaged.

    Thanks guys. I think the seat switch was frozen. I started it today ( warmer weather ) and it worked perfect.

    Do you leave it outside where rain (or snow) can get on the seat ? I would flip the seat over, and use a small blow gun the blow out any water.

    it happened to me again and it was warmer weather. anyone know what the seat switch is wired to and what it operates ?

    IIRC the up/down solenoid on the spool valve, should be right in front of your right shin when sitting in the cab.
