GC70K Cat no hydraulics

I have a 2013 Cat GC70K with no hydraulics. There is a solenoid on top of the hydraulic control valve that is getting power, but nothing happens on any of the 4 functions. There is usually a unload solenoid fuse that blows in this type of issue accompanied by no forward or reverse, but this has directional travel, just no hydraulics. There are 2 wires going into the solenoid, one has power, meaning the seat switch is delivering power and the fuse isnt popping. You have to remove control valve to replace solenoid, I am hoping someone has a better plan?

Just a guess but did you check the pressure before the control valve to see if the pump is building pressure. also most cats used a drive shaft to drive the pump make sure it is not striped could have bad relief valve l would check pressure before going that root

Fact of the week
In May 2023, a Belgian Malinois named Wilson played a key role in the rescue of four children lost in the Amazon jungle. The young children were missing for 40 days after a plane crash that killed their mother and other adults. Wilson tracked the children's footprints, leading the military to their location.
