Had some starter prob with my 813, traced it to the controle box. swapped it out and the prob seem to be gone. Wanted to see what was inside so I cut it open, someone posted that they cut one open but I can't remember who it was. Just thought someone might like to see too.
Hows this, The silver colored relay is the one that shows signs of over heating. Its the same relay we use on some of our palet jacks. I have one and plan on jumpering it in to see if the prob goes away.
Cranetruck did a write up in MV mag. years a go, someone did a thread on this subject not long a go, CT added his data to it, very good and informative, look up protective control box or something like that in search.( about 25 threads with a lot of input from CT )
Last Thur, Tim and I talked about a bypass for the box ( getting ride of it all together) should be easy to do with a few off the shelf parts, this sure would make 5t life a lot easier

I knew i'd seen it somewhere but couldn't remember, thanks to Mr. Cranetruck.
I know I might get a spankin' for this but what does the control box control? I see one bolted on the firewall of the 817 but it must work I figured as it starts, runs, charges..So what does the darn thing do?
