Grapple Selector Valve for Grapple problem

kernal · Sep 7, 2008

Ok, I finished installing and wiring the selector valve kit I got from WR Long. Start the tractor, hold the button grapple opens, closes, I was very happy. Release button, operate the FEL to make sure everything works, it does. Here is the issue, after using the regular function, holding the button no longer works. Voltage to the valve is still good. I have no idea why after using the main fuction the divertor stops working.

Any help is greatly apprciated. If I don't get it resolved I'll be calling WR Long in the am.

Where's moron, here I am.

When finding a power source, use a meter not a test light as the light will not tell you the wire is 6 volts and not 12 volts.......

The selector valve now works great. I do think that I will do as Kennyd did and install a relay with a lead directy to the battery for the valve.
