Blowing the Stop fuse JCB 8018

[kailee33]

Anyone tell me what these things are, some sort of solenoid but the looks of it.

Just spent the day tracing the wiring harness for blowing the stop fuse (Far right hand 5amp). Machine starts, runs, everything works, then the controls stop working, engine keeps going but when turned off and back on the only signs of life is the glow plug light and lift pump, fuse blown again.

Traced back to this bugger

Found it, valve block solenoid coil...
So Worth checking these if your 8018 is blowing the 5 amp stop fuse

Pilot and 2 speed tracking probably

Before you through a lot of money at a new valve, you should be able to buy the coil by it's self.
