ASV RC-100 Electrical Problems

[cbailey1956]

ASV/Terex had some electrical issues when they came out that were addressed in tech bulletins. Many were related to grounding point issues. Paint, corrosion etc. The cab connector plug was common also. If you have to replace it have a good light and possibly magnifier glasses. The pin holes are numbered on both sides and go in circular rotation. So once you get started it is just a matter of concentration and insuring you have the right number/color wire as you place them in. Have you taken a good electrical contact cleaner and sprayed out the connectors. Once you do that get a bright flashlight and inspect the pins and contacts. Most the time you can find one that is burned or pushed in and not making a good connection. I was able to to replace one or two connectors/pins to solve the problem. Use connector compound when done to help prevent corrosion. The wires are identified very well in the ASV harness's I previously worked on. When done try to find all your grounding points and clean them well. Most gremlins were related to inconsistent ground connections.

Forgot to mention the early machines had a relay issue. ASV had a bulletin refering to replacing one type of relay with different upgraded relays. This was early on.

I am new to this thread, but I am hoping someone might be able to assist me. I want to replace the cab connector on the ASV RC-100 that keeps getting corroded. does anyone know the 2 wire sizes that go into this? I want to get a better connector that the plastic one. any help would be great. I know the OEM connector is the 0285-004; however, it does not give the pin sizes or wire sizes. thank you.

Corrosion in the connector is very common. Only only reason to keep the connector is if you wanted to remove the cab someday. My local ASV repair shop has never needed to remove a cab.
From the inside, they use a pin extraction tool to remove each pin, one at a time, put shrink wrapping around the wire and solder them together.
