Case 1845C Starting System Troubleshooting
#1
On the panswork forum, a user described issues with the starting system of their Case 1845C skid steer. Despite having a fully charged battery, the machine would not start properly. Through a series of troubleshooting steps, the user identified the root causes of the problem and shared solutions to resolve it.
Battery and Electrical Connections Check
The first step was to check the battery, which had sufficient charge but still failed to start the machine. Upon further inspection, it was found that there were issues with the electrical connections. The battery terminals might have been loose or had poor contact, causing unstable power transmission. To address this, it’s important to check the battery terminals and ensure they are tightly connected and free from corrosion. Additionally, inspecting the battery cables for wear or damage is crucial.
Starter Relay and Solenoid Issues
Next, the user suspected the problem could be related to the starter relay or the solenoid. The starter relay is responsible for sending power to the starter motor, and the solenoid controls the operation of the starter motor. If either component fails, the machine will not start. The user recommended checking the relay’s operation and cleaning the solenoid's contact points. If the relay or solenoid is damaged, replacing it is necessary.
Starter Motor Inspection
Another common issue is the failure of the starter motor itself. Even if the battery is in good condition and the electrical system is functioning properly, a malfunctioning starter motor can prevent the machine from starting. The user advised inspecting the starter motor to ensure it operates smoothly and does not have any stuck parts or internal damage. If needed, disassembling and cleaning the starter motor is a good step.
Solutions and Recommendations
  1. Check the Battery and Electrical Connections: Ensure the battery terminals are securely connected and free of corrosion. Inspect the battery cables for any damage or wear.
  2. Inspect the Starter Relay and Solenoid: Check the operation of the starter relay and solenoid, clean the contact points, and replace any damaged components.
  3. Examine the Starter Motor: Inspect the starter motor for smooth operation, and disassemble and clean it if necessary.
  4. Regular Maintenance and Inspections: Regularly check the battery, electrical connections, and starting system to ensure the machine starts reliably.
Conclusion
Starting system issues in the Case 1845C skid steer are often related to the battery connections, starter relay, solenoid, or the starter motor itself. Through thorough troubleshooting and timely repairs, users can resolve starting difficulties. Regular inspections and maintenance are key to preventing these issues and ensuring the equipment operates smoothly when needed.
