Mchale 991 LBER wrapper problem

[Barley grower]

Took the wrapper out today in preparation for silage next week, all functions working ok in manual but the control box won’t switch to auto? It was working ok when last used and I’ve checked all the obvious things like electrical connections etc, would a sensor fault cause this or is there anything I’m missing??

So I’m still having no joy with this, I got the software updated on the control box by the local dealer but the auto button still doesn’t work although it does beep when you press it. I’ve come to the conclusion the issue is with the box, everything else on the wrapper is working, can anyone else suggested anything to try??

Will it work if started via the control box instead of the remote controller?
My first try would be to undo the big nut along the loom from the control box and split the loom and check for bent corroded pins etc and clean with a good quality electrical contact cleaner and retry.
Are you 110% sure it’s actually on the correct program????

No won’t start with box or remote, should you able to set the box to auto without connecting to the wrapper? I’ve tried all programs, the software update added extra programs for newer machines but with no improvement. I’ll take a look at the loom this afternoon cheers

Checked and double checked everything.... looks like it’s back to the dealer tomorrow! The joys of electronics !!

At last!! found the issue, the spring for the quick hitch bar had caught part of the wiring loom at the front of the wrapper [emoji28]
