We have a JCB 536 and it's causing a few issues now . The boom in and out function sometimes refuses to work the third service does the same as an intermittent fault , has anyone else had similar issues and know of a fix ... Tia

Just had exactly the same on our 536-60. Kept saying retract or auxillary solenoid STG, but cleared with when turned off.

Was a rat related bare wire under the cover plate on the side of the cab next to the boom.

Also had auxiliary diverter valve thingy behind the cab burn out. Happens all the time apparently on account of being powered all the time when rocker is set to the front rather than the hitch.
