I do these all the time with my rainy climate. I often find water in the cab to mainframe connector. Also, there is a small connector that is terminated by the hub controller, just has a cap on it. Usually always have water in it from sitting on the belly of machine. Little hard to see depending on machine options but it’s there. I always blow every conector out that i can reach under the cab and use dialectic grease, made it part of my PDI, because if it don’t, it will be back. One small drop of water can cause all sorts of issues. Hope that helps anyone with this issue. Good video 👍🏼
I’m a bobcat tech in north Georgia. Run into water in connectors on the R Series all the time. I hit all the controllers with some compressed air even if they seem dry. Fixes electrical issues 90% of the time.
Do you have battery isolators ever on these machines? Thinking about electrical stuff, should have an auto-isolator kick everything out to prevent drain and possible hazards...
I have a bobcat t86 and the AC compressor clutch will not come on even after servicing AC to make sure pressures were good and all, fuses were good even swapped relays, still ac clutch has no power to it. I can use a Power Probe and make the clutch kick in, so the clutch is good , any ideas?
@@dwightschrute1953 first thing to check is to ensure you’re getting voltage to the relay and signal to the relay. If you are then issue would be in the harness between the relay and a/c compressor connector. Are there any codes present in relation to the A/C? That’s where I would start
I've got a T62. 500 hours. Its gone through 2 harnesses now. Bobcat Company refused to pay for my rental on a Kubota for the amount of time my machine was out... PLUS they still let me continue to pay my monthly lease cost on it. It puts their dealers in an awkward situation. I had my machine on site at an important snow contract at a hospital. Thanks to this issue, I was down a very important piece of machinery for a very important area of the snow site. It really will put me in a tough situation on my renewal. Thank you very much Bobcat company. Sucks because I was looking at purchasing a TL 723..
Being an Automotive Tech for 35 yrs, I've never had huge success in using dielectric. I use a spray can product that's a wool wax formula. In Canada I buy either Fluid Film or Honey Goo. There may be more companies that make similar products. It is non-conductive, creeps and/or wicks into the wires, displaces and respells water, and prevents corrosion. It also does not cause swelling like petroleum based products do. I usually blast out connectors with brake parts cleaner, then air followed by the spray. I use it every where I want to control corrosion. The issue is the fact all the controllers you mention all use low voltage for communication between each other and from sensor signals. It doesn't take much to alter the voltage and therefore the signal. I've been dealing with this for decades in the automotive side. Pretty much since the first computers started showing up in cars.
You are rite about when it comes to working on this equipment about letting something take you down and rabbit hole. I’ve been working on equipment all my life and I’m almost sixty four years old. Things have really changed with this newer equipment and technology. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos and I think you are able to take things to the next level. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Great content brother actually had a similar problem with our unit lights flashing backup alarm and all. I could hardly believe I solved the problem by cleaning the connectors as you did. There was absolutely no moisture visible but I trusted your advice over my experience and guess what it worked. Thanks again
My 753 kept tripping the hydraulic pump sensor and no function except the beeping continued . took awhile to find the electrical culprit. keep up the good work !!
I’m a bobcat tech at Duhon machine in Scott la. We have this issue at least 3 times a month possibly mire. Cleaning ground wires and positive wires are an issue especially either harness being so close to the bottom of the allowing mud moisture getting in the connectors that feed the mid controller and hub controller connecting to main harness . Also the the connector from main harness to cab harness is the issue as well
T66 with 500 hours on it, guys showed up the jobsite one rainy day and the horn was going off on it's own. Water had dripped through the roof on the control with the horn button and it was blaring all on it's own.
Sounds like a hot machine cooling off may pull moisture into the connectors. On some harley davidson motorcycles if you spray water on a hot engine they sometimes will pull the gasket and water into the engine.
I've had similar issues with s64s on a dairy farm , I've had 4 r series all with similar issues, usually I get loss of communication to display and usually cleaning the main buss terminals by the battery does the trick . Also have had 3 with failed Moter carrier bearings failing. Thanks for the videos they have been a huge help to me . They made me buy more bobcats so hopefully bobcat starts paying you lol
We have a 2021 T66 and this is our first time having this issue. We got a lot of rain the other day, woke up to the entire machine dead, charged battery nothing, watched this video problem fixed.
@KennysTreeRemoval Congratulations on a wonderful result from watching the lessons in this video. I get great pride in watching a video on RUclips on how to solve a seemingly impossible issue, then I pull off a miracle. 🎉💪😎👍 Well done.
s750 at work was blowing headlamp bulbs nonstop just out of curiosity i pulled the relay board bottom left next to seat all relay connectors & circuit board itself was thick green crust we power wash skidloaders daily 3000 cow dairy. right now with roads slushy salt/calcium chloride i see so many snow contractors hauling bobcats on trailers hope they're thinking ahead
I have one doing the same thing, I did a wiggle test on the hub controller harness and the alarm would go on and off, found a internally broken wire had to replace the harness under warranty
Great video, as usual. Love to see that even you get a little frustrated and bewildered. I couldn’t make these videos like you. The audio would sound a lot like the alarms going off on this T76. Beep, beep, beepidy beep beep….😂
Water can come from humidity too. That could be the source. Cheaper connectors, pins, insulation, and wiring doesn't help either. Dielectric grease can also trap in dirt and debree. If you got high quality electric circuits you should never need grease... Thanks for the video!!
Brother I just want to say thank you very much. We got a lot of rain the other day and the next morning our 2021 T66 won't start, won't show any power on the panel. After watching your video I kind of know now what to test and look for. If there's any other tip you would like to share it would be greatly appreciated. Love the channel and subbed a few months back.
I hope someone can help me, please: I have a 2021 T66 with 169 hrs. It ran fine when I parked it, where it's been sitting for a year, with the door off of it. I went to start it yesterday & the battery was dead. I put cables on it & it powered up. I entered the passcode & pushed the start button, but it just clicked & went dead. I checked removed the battery jump point nut in the engine compartment, cleaned it & reinstalled it. It powered back up, but did it clicked & went completely dead again when I hit the start button. It's as though it's resetting.
I’ve had so many issues with the electrical side of things where the r series loaders (more prominent in the s62-s76 models) where they do not turn off unless you disconnect the battery or hit the isolator. All to do with the circular exhaust vents on all the controllers water, dirt or moisture gets through the vent and just causes issues
I know a lot of manufactures have been using soy as a wire insulator. Might work for keeping electrons in but maybe not water out? I know these can bus systems use a pretty small gauge wire. Might have to dig out that can of wire dry shellac. This only comes to mind as I have a car I have to replace a portion of harness from a rabbit chewing up the wires.
Love some r-series electrical issues, seemed to be better as of late, we send out a lot of snow machines around 300 or so a year and as snow machines go they sit and sit for months and those have been the worst for harness issues. Other than electrical and the early lower lift cylinder pins seizing, the r-series have been very good. We recently just got in a 5600 hour s76 from a metal foundry which has been beat to hell, rear door has been smashed to pieces, cabs all dented but overall its in very good shape mechanically speaking. Engine runs fantastic hasn't had injectors like all the v-1 engines seem to need, axle seals arent leaking, no drive motor chain case leaks like every other machine will experience at some point. I bet the cylinders have been resealed but currently none of the cylinders are leaking. Everyone hates on the r-series and for good reason with there harness issues, wimpy rear door, cat look alike, but to be honest they are great machines
Are the new machines worth it? Seems there's always something going wrong with them. I have a old 763 and the only problems I've ever had are the fuel pickup tube and worn out hoses.
Electrical gremlins, suck, no doubt. My T770 gets random codes thrown out in very cold temps when I plow snow. Every winter. I shut it down, count to 10, then restart the machine, and 90% of the time that fixes the problem. Once the machine warms up, and can dry out that moisture, that works well for my machine. I try to park it in my shop for the winter, but that isn't always possible, but it is what it is. Thanks for that run down, greatly appreciate it. Oh, that rubber boot can help keep moisture out, but it will trap condensation from dry faster too. Catch 22 from my point of view. Take care, hope you have a great New Year!!! See you in the next video.
I don't understand bobcat fan boys. Bobcat has not sorted out how to keep connectors clear. Something other industries have resolved decades ago. When asked on how to prevent the problem bobcat responds like an internet forum... everybody claiming a given solution is bad. These machines are an absolute bitch to keep running in the cold, or the wet. My fleet gets wet. PMI's include full wash about every quarter. Winter excluded if freezing temps are expected. While I like the support my dealer provides... it is support that should never be needed. WD-40 and compressed air for the short term. Dialectic after the water is purged. To the internet and Bobcat failures... dialectic can never increase resistance if your pin fitment is correct (IE you built it right in the first place). 3M Silicone Paste. PN 08946.
I’m not sure if it’s within the same realm of issue, but I’m getting a diagnostic code B1050-14 HVAC open to ground. My machine is kept inside nearly 100% of the time, and since I’ve owned it, it hasn’t seen rain. But, nothing on the ventilation/air movement/heating/cooling works, now. Any immediate thoughts or direction I should pursue? Like you, I assume it’s some sort of moisture intrusion.
Well, allegedly, Doosan turned the Bobcat into a Doochebag. They better start issuing mass recalls to fix these sorts of issues. I bet it has to do with the engine and wires generating heat underside the cab and and as the wires cool down, they draw in cold most air that condensates on the pins. Can't throw bags of rice in there to draw off the moisture because of the rats, but maybe some other sort of desiccant packs might help around the connectors.
Bro I have a serious problem with my t550 I seen many of your videos about injectors and I followed but it came down to my injectors or injector pump but I changed both and still no start. What I noticed now I'm thinking is when the problem first started on idle its smooth but once I raised the rpm or try to use it it was blowing black smoke and now it doesn't start but as I'm trying to start it once in a while it tries to start but that's it but now I'm thinking can it be the crankshaft sensor
What does WD in the name WD40 stand for water displacement if you think you have a water issues you need to put it in there and Dielectric grease fills in the voids so water will not lay in your plug and does cut down on Croatian / 35 years of experience
They make a kit that can be installed to limit. It runs about $1300 from Bobcat + labor. I’m having it put on next week. Should be standard equipment with machine purchase on this.
Bobcats are really nice with all the controls and adjustability you have over the implements. Having said that........they're junk. Nothing but junk. Had two of them. Did I say they are junk? Took a beating on the last one trade in on a Kubota. Never had a problem since.
Does the new R series have remote battery posts for boosting? Having the battery under the cab will be a nightmare in my application. We use them for cleaning bitumen falling off conveyor belts. About 50% of the time the cab shocks are failed and give 0 assist. Along with 100lbs of bitumen piled on the cab. Oh and they didn't give me a truck with a crane lol
Have a S185 replaced the Hydrostatic Motor carrier Bearings, now , only disconnect one plug which is the electric solenoid now put it all back together and I have no power to the park brake solenoid, checked fuses and relays but now power, I am at the end of my wits, can anybody help ? it's just a single speed machine, any help thanks in advance.
I'm a bobcat field tech here in Texas do you have a way I can reach out to you?? I have a few interesting things I wanna show you. I've seen some water get in some weird places on these machines and cause some weird issues.
Thanks for the videos. I’m learning a lot. I have an S300. The rocker switch for the power bobtach will only raise the levers. Not lower. I can get them to lower using the pedals. I’ve already replaced the switch. I’m guessing there is a solenoid somewhere that is bad? Can you advise?
Its stuff like this that keeps me away from newer equipment with all the bells and whistles. My big old skid steer just started leaking in the belly the other day. Its at that age where problems are more common, but it seems new ones have problems just as often. Hate to think how many times someone will have to be under the cab to clean connectors over the life of this machine.
@howididit curious if you think this is my issue. T66 throwing no communication codes to both joysticks and main keypad. Very cold here and just got 18” of snow.
I have a t 450 , it will work for an hour or so them it will not run the boom works fine but it will not Mover forward or back but the next day it will run for and hour then it will not move any suggestions/?
For how expensive these are they are totally garbage I regret buying my t770 if it's not over heating it's throwing a code. Plus they are a dog for power especially if you think you are going to use high flow
Having a very similar issue with a t66. I couldn't find any moisture in the hub controller either, but I guess I'm cleaning out the connectors tomorrow. Thanks.
@@tetradgroup cleaned out the connectors this morning and the buzzer went to a low chirp off and on for about 2 minutes and then it quit. Seems normal now. Had it tested for about an hour, but the real test is sitting outside in the rain. Being a newer bobcat tech in a shop by myself, I've watched a good bit of your videos and do appreciate the info.
I lifted the cab on my T76 recently and it had 4"+ thick layer of mud on the bottom. I scraped and washed it all out until it looked new again. it took all day. I even left the hose on with a sprinkler for 3 hours inside of it to try and get all the areas I couldnt see. I waited a day before starting it and it ran fine. A month or so later I raised the cab again and there was 1" layer of mud over everything again. every single area had mud. I was pretty mad and closed the cab and noticed at least a 1/2" gap on the sides and around the cab. Plus the areas where the hoses from tracks go into cab. all packed with mud. I called bobcat and they want almost 2000 for the forestry mulching seal kit. I went to the store and bought marine grade weather stripping. I added it all around the gaps but forgot to plug the drain holes on the bottom. Very poor design. In the back under the starter is 4" of mud and i cant get it to drain out. Going to have to try and tilt bobcat up so it drains back. Also the AC stops working after 30 minutes because it freezes up from being caked with mud under the seat. my 2017 S650 AC never froze up
@@andrewr2147 it does. I should have made a video on it. I use my t76 offroad all the time so its constantly in the dirt. I live in South Texas so theres never rain. just dusty sandy dirt. I have to bang my air filter out every 2 hours when running the brush cutter. and at least once a day running just a bucket. top radiatior gets clogged fast too.

Never really been a bobcat fan always liked case skid loaders better but I do like your show
Do bobcats have more electronics on them as compared to the other manufacturers? Seems like all skid steers are almost the same except for bobcat.
You are spot on. Thank you. You helped me get mine going same issue.
I have one doing the same thing, I did a wiggle test on the hub controller harness and the alarm would go on and off, found a internally broken wire had to replace the harness under warranty

HAHA, I really try to clean it up for the videos but its tough.
We use a corrosion inhibitor that we put on the plugs and keeps the water out and stops moisture.
Condensation travels in all directions and will creep up the wiring like a wick .Travels up the dust .Insulation is the answer.
Water can come from humidity too. That could be the source. Cheaper connectors, pins, insulation, and wiring doesn't help either. Dielectric grease can also trap in dirt and debree. If you got high quality electric circuits you should never need grease... Thanks for the video!!

True, apparently that is how the water gets in by traveling up the wires into the connector but who knows.

Thanks for the videos. I’m learning a lot. I have an S300. The rocker switch for the power bobtach will only raise the levers. Not lower. I can get them to lower using the pedals. I’ve already replaced the switch. I’m guessing there is a solenoid somewhere that is bad? Can you advise?
Great video,thanks again
Sounds like wiring harness connectors are no good on these machines. Should be sealed connections
Its stuff like this that keeps me away from newer equipment with all the bells and whistles. My big old skid steer just started leaking in the belly the other day. Its at that age where problems are more common, but it seems new ones have problems just as often. Hate to think how many times someone will have to be under the cab to clean connectors over the life of this machine.
Did the computer come back on too?
My belly pan collects a lot of dust!
screen came back on ?
@howididit curious if you think this is my issue. T66 throwing no communication codes to both joysticks and main keypad. Very cold here and just got 18” of snow.
That's where ii would start, there multiple spots that could have water intrusion.
@@tetradgroup I’ll start looking. Thank you. I’ll have to wait a few days I guess as it’s below zero here until the weekend.
I’m not a big fan of the battery location
I have a t 450 , it will work for an hour or so them it will not run the boom works fine but it will not Mover forward or back but the next day it will run for and hour then it will not move any suggestions/?
Really hard to say, I would need more information. You can contact us at www.4tetradgroup.com if you need any help with it.
Brilliant
Im oprater of bobcat 635 in ksa loader and trancher can i get visa of thare
For how expensive these are they are totally garbage I regret buying my t770 if it's not over heating it's throwing a code. Plus they are a dog for power especially if you think you are going to use high flow
What is so bad he is in a new machine
Sad that this is what equipment has evolved to. They shouldn’t design equipment like this.
Oh by the way the dummies' should have a battery disconnect in a easy to reach location it is stupid to have the battery under the cab.
Having a very similar issue with a t66. I couldn't find any moisture in the hub controller either, but I guess I'm cleaning out the connectors tomorrow. Thanks.
Let me know if it works
@@tetradgroup cleaned out the connectors this morning and the buzzer went to a low chirp off and on for about 2 minutes and then it quit. Seems normal now. Had it tested for about an hour, but the real test is sitting outside in the rain. Being a newer bobcat tech in a shop by myself, I've watched a good bit of your videos and do appreciate the info.
No offense to you or what your doing, I'm not a fan what dosen is doing with Bobcat
Super suss
I lifted the cab on my T76 recently and it had 4"+ thick layer of mud on the bottom. I scraped and washed it all out until it looked new again. it took all day. I even left the hose on with a sprinkler for 3 hours inside of it to try and get all the areas I couldnt see. I waited a day before starting it and it ran fine. A month or so later I raised the cab again and there was 1" layer of mud over everything again. every single area had mud. I was pretty mad and closed the cab and noticed at least a 1/2" gap on the sides and around the cab. Plus the areas where the hoses from tracks go into cab. all packed with mud. I called bobcat and they want almost 2000 for the forestry mulching seal kit. I went to the store and bought marine grade weather stripping. I added it all around the gaps but forgot to plug the drain holes on the bottom. Very poor design. In the back under the starter is 4" of mud and i cant get it to drain out. Going to have to try and tilt bobcat up so it drains back. Also the AC stops working after 30 minutes because it freezes up from being caked with mud under the seat. my 2017 S650 AC never froze up
Now you’ve got me curious. I’m going to have to go raise my cab tomorrow. Can’t imagine it would throw that much mud inside.
@@andrewr2147 it does. I should have made a video on it. I use my t76 offroad all the time so its constantly in the dirt. I live in South Texas so theres never rain. just dusty sandy dirt. I have to bang my air filter out every 2 hours when running the brush cutter. and at least once a day running just a bucket. top radiatior gets clogged fast too.
New bobcats are just extremely low quality
This is called over engineered junk
Great video as always, thanks.
