Jim I started out using and working with computers in the early 1990s. The trouble is for me to really work on things I am used to understanding how they work from the ground up. There is no way you can have that knowledge on the new computer controlled stuff. The technology involves has taken centuries of man hours to develop. The fellows working on the new stuff know how to use the computer to look for problems but if it is not a common problem then there is not a solution in the data base.
An example. The older JD 8330 (2006 model) we have. This is one of the last new tractors I ever sold. We bought it from the original owner four years ago. From day one this tractor MAY not shift out of park some times. You can pull up to dump a wagon and get back in an it may not move. While it was under warranty every single thing to do with the park/transmission circuit was replaced. It still did it. We even hauled it out to the Waterloo factory DTAC center and they "fixed" the problem. NOT!!!! LOL it still did it. About once every 100 hours or so. The cure to make it move again??? Just remove the battery cable and make the system reboot. Should be simple then should it not. The harness, PCM, ECM, and solenoids have all been replaced more than once. Our solution?? We just put a master battery disconnect switch on it. So all you have to do is switch it off for five seconds and let it reboot. So how do you "FIX" some thing like this????
