Discussion:
CRanks with none of 4 safety switches connected

Guys, Im struggling, I work on Tractors but do mostly all t/s. but this lift is killing me. its a 2017 but the diagram I have is not accurate. with all the safety switches disconnected it still cranks(tank lock, pressure, seat belt or seat sw) I compared all circuits to a sister, but it seems like the VCM is just allowing this to happen. the VCM and ECM were both swapped to check. Im thinking about calling the harness but I cant be definitive as to where the harness (may) be shorted. and tips would help, I think maybe the VCM has some input that is incorrect, maybe. thanks forklift guys....

I would think by now you have this figured out but some info for you. These units will start with all the mentioned safety switches open or disconnected unless special applications, or customers, like the motor freight companies. There are not usually set up from the factory not to start. The only feature that standardly makes no start is the shift lever.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
