PTO stopped working...seat switch or TDC?

[v8only]

well i went through all of tests listed in the PDF's attached and checks from Mechanos and when i test the TDC (jump the yellow and blue) the PTO engages. I will then plug in the PTO module and the system works as it should. Should i be ruling out the PTO module or should it be considered failed.

I have even installed the old seat switch and it works fine with the TDC installed, then i start to put everything back together and try the PTO lever again and then the magnet does not work i jump the yellow and blue again the PTO engages reinstall the PTO module, start to fiddle and then it works start to put it all back together then it fails...im sure you get the idea.

Where is the ground for the TDC? i am assuming there is a crappy connection somewhere in the TDC system or the TDC module is gone.

Anything else you guys can think of?

Also i am thinking of elimintating the TDC and only running the seat switch how would i go about doing this?

ok i am 99.9% sure its the TDC module i opened up the black box and the relay inside (copper coils) has a rocker type switch that moves with the seat switch like points on a old car.

Long story short the points were no longer making good contact, i sanded them down and adjusted the points to touch better and so far no matter how much i jiggle around the still works.

tomorrow will be the true test when i start to till again.
