Greetings, I need to know if your machine is a C series, F series, or G series, the 753 was made in all three of those versions. Serial number would help

Customer
Serial ####-##-####

Thanks. Have you checked that fuse #6 (PWM) actually has power on it with ignition on?

Customer
Hi

Ok, if fuse 6 has power, the next thing you would need to check would be remove the right panel and check the light green/red wire at the push button that activates the aux hydraulics and see if that wire has power with ignition on, not certain about this but engine may need to be running to test that, can't recall for sure.

Customer
I will check tomorrow after work and let you know.

No worries. If that light green/red wire has power, push the button and see if it has power on the output side of the push button switch. That should be a momentary switch so it would only show power on the output terminal when you're holding the button pushed in.

Customer
The lights on the switch do not lite up when button is depressed

I understand, that's why you need to check if that switch has power on the output terminal as it not only sends a voltage signal back to the aux controller but also sends power to those two LED lights, from there the LED lights get ground inside the aux control module. If that switch is sending power out of the switch on the output terminal then you either have a problem with your wiring going back to the aux control module or you likely have a faulty module

Customer
If you have power going in the switch and nothing coming out, that means the switch is bad

Let's hope that's what the problem is, but that's the next thing we need to check

Customer
I have no power to the light green/ red wire at the aux switch.
Customer
Where is fuse 6 located. My fuses are located by the oil filter for the motor. My are not numbered. Is it in that bank of fuses?

Sorry, been a long day for me, just now checking in. Yes, fuse block is located in the engine compartment to the right of the oil filter. See attached diagram.

Customer
Fuse 6 is good
Customer
I checked power to 6 pin at aux module. Pin C orange wire had power, but nothing coming out with key in the run position. Motor not running.

There should be two orange wires on the C412 connector at the auxiliary module, diagram shows orange wire on A terminal to be power from fuse 6, the other orange wire is the output from the module to the pushbutton switch in the cab. Be sure and check that black wire at C412 connector, the diagram shows that's the ground for the module and it's showing going to frame, not to harness, make sure that black wire is making a good ground.

RNG is Orange on Bobcat diagrams

Customer
There is two Orange wires. I live in AZ and getting dark. I will check in the morning. I will be home all day. Can I reach you in the morning?

I'm pretty busy at work during the day, but I'll try and log in if I get a chance.

Customer
Ok thanks
Customer
If the ground is good should power be coming out of C the other orange?

I'm thinking yes, if not you likely have a faulty controller.

Customer
That's what I was thinking

BTW, on that model machine, C or F series, which your machine is, that model was bad about cracking the weld of the pin boss on the loader frame where the tilt cylinder attaches to the loader frame. Keep an eye on that.

Customer
What does BTW stand for

Text language. Like IIRC, If I Recall Correctly, or IMHO, In My Humble Opinion, allows one to express a common phrase using only a few letters in text

Customer
I don't know text language very well, I do know lol and I DK

LoL, well, we're never to old to learn and I'm pushing 62

Customer
Both orange wires have power on the C412. I traced the black wire and it goes to the solenoids on the main valve body. Did not see any were it was grounded to the frame. Also check at the switch still no power.
Customer
I got it . It came down to corrosion on the out put side of the fuse holder.
Thank you so much for your knowledge and patients with me

Another long day for me, just now sitting down to my computer. Awesome news, good to hear you got it sorted out and didn't have to call a Bobcat tech. Cheers

Customer
Again thanks so much
Doug

You're welcome, it was my pleasure
