RE: (ET) E20 and Cruise Control / Power Pulse Button

["Hazen, Dwight L" <hazen indiana edu>]

If you are having problems with the seat switch it could be it's worn
out. The switch is a long travel switch, it should stay engaged though
all of its travel. Try swapping it with the power pulse switch on the
dash. Note the power pulse switch engages just as you press it. Pushing
it down farther has no effect. Compare the seat switch it should work
the same way.

You said:
"That may explain why I've never had that chattering relay problem in
D2.
On my
 E20, if the seat switch goes off, even for a fraction of a second, I
have
to
 start from throttle "0" before I can go again.  It completely resets
the
system."

No sir, not necessarily.  Your situation just explains that you have a
properly wired and functioning safety circuit and Perry Cain must not.
He
needs to fix that problem as the safety circuits are there for good
reasons.

But at the same time, the nuisance stops for just a momentary bounce can
be
a pain in the you know what.  That's why I'm planning on putting a time
delay relay in the seat switch portion of that circuit to let me bounce
for
say a second before the tractor decides that I have fell off.
