Massey 6480 handbrake

[Dave6170]

My 6480 thinks the handbrake is on and wont move now. I ve tried bypassing the switch on the handbrake lever but no luck.

What should i do? Just get it moving today till i can get a mechanic tomorrow.

Is handbrake open circuit or made when the handbrake is off ?

 

[Dave6170]

?? When handbrake is off/down it pushes that switch in photo. Also if handbrake is on and you press the clutch pedal or engage shuttle a buzzer sounds and tractor wont move

[Dave6170]

Are you getting battery voltage at the handbrake switch.

 

[Dave6170]

Are you getting battery voltage at the handbrake switch.

I ll check that when i get home.

 

[Dave6170]

I can get voltage at the plug i pulled out of the switch

When use say you bypassed the switch do you mean you joined the wires on the plug together? What happens if you just remove the plug to make an open circuit?

yes but what happens if you dont join the wires

 

[Dave6170]

yes but what happens if you dont join the wires

First thing i did was just unplug the switch at the handbrake but it made no difference. Then i joined the wires at the plug but still nothing
