PROBLEM
Show/hide table
| The existing location of the connector for the engine oil level switch can cause stress on the wires in the connector on certain 345D Excavators. This can lead to wire breakage and cause the switch to malfunction. The connector has been relocated to the engine on a new clip which eliminates this issue. |
