Another Electrical Issue Resolved - Link Belt 3400 Excavator
My most hated "issues" with any machine, be it truck or excavator, is when there is some little dummy electrical issue. Funny a machine this big and powerful can be put down by a faulty ground.
So after all my back and forth on it, I finally narrowed it down to two things. Either it was the fuse link or the battery relay. I suspect the battery relay. The fuse link was loose and dirty, but the fuse was fine. Just cleaned it and taped it up again to make sure. But on the battery relay, I relocated a ground wire from a ground terminal on the relay, to mounting screw so it can ground to the frame. One of those two things made it start and work properly. My money is on the battery relay being a turd.
Anyway, the good news is there is nothing wrong with my key. That's excellent news since I can't figure out how the heck to get the console loose! For now I guess we are good to go. We'll see how long this works before some other pesky little thing goes out.
