Posting this thinking it may help someone down the line...
Neighbor's 9600 header lift would quit working as soon as the header clutch was switched "ON".
Took dealership 4 trips over 5 days to figure it out.
They replaced circuit board in the RH console where the switch is located.
Then "a circuit board higher up in the cab". (NOT sure what that was.)
Then, more research and another trip out from the dealership.
Finally in desperation, the mech unplugged the harness between the machine and the feedhouse at the upper LH side of the feederhouse, now all is well.
Apparently, there's a wire in that harness that gets powered up by a relay when the feeder clutch is engaged, to provide power to certain attachments that may be attached to the feederhouse (NOT used on this combine) and it's shorted somewhere and tripped a breaker that also feeds power to the electric/hydraulic valves that lift the feederhouse!!!!
With that harness unplugged a couple of lights on the header won't work, but the owner wanted to get combining and the mech was urgently needed at another job so they left the harness unplugged, and left troubleshooting what's going on there for a later time.
Wonder what the bill on all that will be?
