Hello all,
Well I've just had a routine and easy job turn into a nightmare.
Was replacing a cracked gear stick (with engine dipper switch) on my M9540. Removed the old one and plugged in the new one and tested it. Dipper switch seemed to work and all seemed well. I fixed the gear stick in place and now the following has stopped working:
I would like to add that I've only checked the fuses under the dash and in the engine bay. And have checked the relays under the seat.
Everything was working fine this morning. Everything was find until I changed the bloody gear stick.
Any ideas on what to do next?
Thanks in advance for the help.
PS: I don't know if I'm being paranoid or superstitious. But on the M9540 there are 3 screws to hold the gear stick in place. The top screw seems to hold the internal cable secure. All seemed well until I screwed the top screw in place. I’m just wondering if it crushed the cable and it's shorted something. However, I plugged the old cracked gear stick back in and that one no longer works either.
Here's more details:
Model: M8 VARIANT: M9540H-C
EEC NO/ E13*2003/37/0140

- First, the engine won't crack up or start. There's nothing when you turn the key.
- The PTO light on the dash is displaying the PTO as being 'on'. ThIS happens regardless of whether the PTO switch is set to on or off.
- The 4WD switch won't work or come on.
- The new gear stick engine dipper button won’t activate.
