I started to replace my ignition switch on my Case 480B backhoe and found a wiring nightmare under the dash. Of course being an old machine it has been hacked over and over.
The issue I was trying to solve is that it won't shut down (it starts fine) and probably from the same or similar issue, runs the battery dead when I do get it shut down. I have to choke it to kill it.
Does anyone have the wiring diagram for this model (or know where I can get one)?
My new ignition has:
Bat and Ground (those are easy)
IGN (Ignition I would assume)
ST (not sure about this one, to the starter relay?)
ACC (accessory I assume)
There is a 4 wire harness with very faded color codes:
Red (or maybe orange with a red stripe spiraling around the wire)
Yellow or light brown (I think I know where this one goes. It has a plug that only fits in one place)
White with a red stripe
pink with red stripe (which wasn't connected to anything)
Outside of the harness there was a green wire that goes to the water temp gauge and a brown one that I "think" goes to the alternator gauge. I almost forgot, this is the diesel model.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
