As a newcomer with a 2003 Bobcat skid steer issue, I'm unsure how to seek help on the forum without violating the rules. Can someone guide me on the proper way to request assistance? Your input is greatly appreciated.
My Bobcat 753 keeps repeatedly blowing the fuse for the traction control, causing the machine to be immobilized as the traction remains engaged. Additionally, the seat bar light intermittently stays on. Are these issues related or part of the same problem? Thank you.

Hello Pony, it seems like the issue with the seat bar switch is causing the unit to not move. I have encountered a similar problem with a faulty switch preventing the machine from moving for safety reasons. Can you pinpoint when this problem started occurring? Was the machine working fine, and then suddenly unable to move? Have you checked for any damage in the wiring harness by raising the cab? Accessing the back of the fuse block is simple with the cab raised, making it easier to trace the wiring. Is the fuse blowing immediately? Does the traction control light turn off and then back on? You may want to reach out to ATCOEQUIP on this forum for expert advice on equipment repairs. Bill.
It seems like there may be a problem with the wiring leading to the brake solenoid, causing it to chafe, or it could be a case of the solenoid malfunctioning and shorting out internally. Unfortunately, I don't have the exact ohm specifications for the solenoid, but another member of this community may be able to provide that information.
In a forum post by user "mrfixitpaul," it was suggested that the issue could be caused by a chafed wire leading to the brake solenoid or a faulty solenoid shorting out internally. The specific ohm specifications for the solenoid were not remembered, but other members of the forum may have this information. Two votes have been counted in agreement with this assessment.
