JCB 802.5 Hand controls not working

[patch3005]

I have a 1999 jcb 802.5 and yesterday after a couple of hours of normal work, the hand controls stopped working. It was it's first day back working after 8 months off with another problem. The tracks still work but they always did even with the dead man raised. Could this be a problem with the deadman electrical circuit, much appreciated if anyone has any ideas and where I can look.

Hi & welcome If you have a question in future, please start your own thread .. no harm done, it just makes it easier for people to find your post, so I've created this thread for you

As to your question, its more than likely theres a fault on the dead mans circuit, or a physical problem with the switch that controls it.
