1998 Bobcat 331 MiniX
I have a ‘98 Bobcat 331 MiniX. I lost hydraulic control with the joysticks. Still have blade, driving & can pivot the boom with foot controllers. Blew ignition fuses just prior to losing hydraulics. Replaced fuse and limped out of excavation site. Tried using left joystick to swing & smoke billowed up from under seat. Disconnected battery. Checked wiring. Only found one wire slightly crimped. I’ll replace that. Seems to obviously be electrical issue. I’ve ordered new relays. Other than the console safety switch which I will check later, any other suggestions. Thanks in advance, Joe
