friend just purchased a used 1660 (2002) and feeder will only stay engaged about about 10 sec. Jumped seat switch and no difference. Any other ideas ??

There is an eye sensor on the feeder house drive chain right under the steps. Check that for spacing and make sure dust has not built up on the eye.

make sure the ground wire on the feeder house is hooked up

There is a bypass in the right hand side panel of the cab. I believe the owners manual shows how to do it. It will bypass the feeder speed sensor and cutoff module only. If this doesn' t fix the problem replace the time delay relay in the right hand side panel of the cab. It is a square block with four wires individual wires on it.

This may sound stupid but check the battery cables, clean the terminals and check that where the cable goes thru the clamp it is still crimped tight.

Problem solved

He had taken off the chain for the reverser. Shaft speed monitor reads off idler sprocket so no signal. Thanks for the ideas.
