Customer: Hi. We have a new holland ls160 skidloader that recently killed when the guy helping us kinda fell getting in it. Like he bumped something. After that it did not start and instrument panel did not light up. There is also a constant beeping when key is in start position. Finally tried the service mode switch (I think) and that allowed the skid to start but the bucket won’t move or raise and the beeping continues. Any ideas?
JA: Hi. Sometimes things that you think will be really complicated end up being easy to fix. The Construction Equipment Mechanic I'm going to connect you with knows all the tricks and shortcuts. Is there anything else the Construction Mechanic should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: Think that is it for now. Thanks!

Would seem that there may be two problems, but related. The dash not lighting up, has to be a loose connection , where no voltage is reaching the panel. Look for bad connections or broken wires, around the panel and the front of the unit. The not starting in the run position can be one of the seat/seat belt witches not making and completing the start circuit. Use a volt/ohm meter and check connections and switches for continuity.

Ok. How does that service mode switch work? That seemed to be the only thing that changed is that switched got bumped. Is there any sequence resetting things after that has been on?
No, no reset. The service mode just lets the engine start but allows no functions.
Customer
maybe we have it in service mode right currently, it starts but won't lift the bucket. It will drive.
The engine if started will kill when the switch is pushed the other way.

Go over the seat switch and seat belt switch with a fine tooth comb, problem will be related to them.

Ok. Thanks!
