I assume you mean the auxiliary light?
No light but does the thumb work?
Do other lights work?
Have you checked fuses?
Is it just a blown bulb in the console?
You need to be a little more informative if you expect anyone to be able to help.
On that note....anyone familiar with the 331/331e/334 mini's, I have a 334 and find one thing quite annoying regarding an AUX. Havent done any digging or research yet and it may not be able to be changed but I want to explore the option....
The issue is...every time you raise the left handle to exit the machine....everything is disabled. Safety obviously. I have no issues with that. The problem is every time I return to the seat and put the arm console back down to reactivate hydraulic functions....it activates everything BUT the aux hydraulics. Always gotta push that damn button every time.
Quite frustrating when I am using the machine bucking logs. Grapple with thumb, hop off, buzz it up....and countless times I throw that armrest down and hit the lever for the thumb and nothing happens...gotta push that button every stinking time. Would like to bypass that so AUX is active everytime the armrest is down.

So the light DOES work?
Is the valve activating? Are the hoses flexing? Engine loading up? Or nothing?
Check the couplers on the boom for the aux hydraulics

Check the fuses.
Check the wiring in the control handle.
Check the wiring at the valve.

what is the valve call and where is it? I do very much appreciate the help. The terminology in the shop manual has me lost.

The valve would be with the rest of the control valves under the hood where you fuel it up.
Which one I don't know cause I never had to work on mine. Trace the hoses coming from the thumb or the wires from the switch
