Skid-Steer blower question

[fireone]

I have a 2015 Bobcat S570 with one of those small sidewalk sized Bobcat snow blowers. Everything worked good halfway through the storm. Now the AUX switch kicks out if I try to turn the chute or the angle of the spout. But the main auger works fine as long as I don't try the other 2 switches. Solenoid? Bad connection in the pigtail? Or what? Dealer is still shut down from the storm.

Trade it for a CAT, problem solved

Any chance the auger chute/motor/actuator is frozen or are you able to put it somewhere it thaws out after use?

I did thaw it out, still didn't work. Luckily have the spout to the side so can use it.

Sounds like a switch or solenoid issue. Put an OHM meter to the switch and see if it’s open or closed. Jump the solenoid with a screwdriver and see if it will actuate.

Most likely solenoid isn’t opening so it’s dead heading and tripping it
