Glad you posted this vid. I am running into the same issue with my SCL1000. The aux wouldn't run the trencher so we wiggled the wires and it started working but then, when the trencher wasn't hooked up the machine would somehow engage the auxillary and make the machine die when digging. I need to dig into this tomorrow. I will definitely figure out how to rewire.
@@Venturewest1 I rewired it once lasted a few months ended up just buying a new control. Hasn’t messed up yet. The wires rub on the hole that they go through and ends up cutting them.
I would replace all the wires and extend them. Assuming there is room I would put a bunch of extra inside the joystick base and make a wrap around the joystick pivot. What is happening is wire fatigue. The longer the distance the wire flexes in the longer it should last. Kind of like how they used to make coils in the brake lines before going to the frame. Smaller diameter wires may actually last longer.
The problem isn’t the wiring harness you were wiggling. They’re wrapped, that little bit of wiggle would take a long long time to chafe through the bundle and onto the wires. The problem is that Kubota made a janky controller with poorly designed wire connections. That controller looks like something you get for an Xbox or something. Any other manufacturer builds way beefier controllers with solid wiring jobs. I beleive move of them go straight to contacts rather than a harness to the actuators. That way if they do go bad, it’s just a matter of replacing relay.

Until you replace the flexible joystick cover, you could use a plastic bag taped to the console base. Would keep water out.

uh oh poor kubota lucky my kubota dont sell that part for $1,000 he sells that part for $170.00
I wish it was a $170 in ca I would buy 3 of them
yeah there joy stick kit about $2,400 at the deere dealer
