Afternoon everyone! I bought a 2007 T2410 with 400 hours on it. It didn't do a lot of work and did a decent amount of sitting in a storage barn. I ran it with no issues for close to 8 months. Since using it more often now I have had an intermittent starting issue. First time it happened I was able to tow it on a trailer and run it to the place that was putting the FEL on for me and they said they changed out a solenoid and it fixed the issue. Well I had the same issue again, called up the place that did the work and I asked them if they noticed anything else and they said no, so I got another solenoid to see maybe if it was a fluke and it didn't change anything. So I dug into it deeper. I started with bypassing the safety's one by one, no change. Then I started mapping out wires and checking voltages, while doing that I had the brake off and it just started beeping at me. Bam, it started. Ran it for another hour or two, turned it off and same issue. Started where I left off and checking voltages and bam, started beeping again. Started and no issues for a month or two. Well now it is really bad. I think I have narrowed it down to the safety controller under the dash. If I leave the parking brake off and disconnect the male part of the controller input I can wiggle and move slightly until I get the parking brake beep. Steady hands and the occasional little wiggle and I can get it started. Once it's started I have no issues with it running, just getting it started. I tried using compressed air to get dirt and dust out, cleaned it up, checked the connections the best I could on both sides and put dielectric grease in it. It seems to work as soon as I put the grease in but after that I have to do it again. I think I have narrowed it down to the safety controller but for $537 I want to be 100% that it will fix it. Any one else had the same issues or have any additional tips in getting it to keep working? Sorry for the long post and thanks!
