| Got the header to lower and all but I went to try and see if the bin unloader would turn on and nothing. You can hear the solenoid valve trying to activate but nothing turns on. The combine and head both turn on and work but will not unload, any ideas where to start looking? |

| I look for ground wire issues. Our troubles are on an M3. In their case when the thresher or header won't start, I can trace it to a bad ground. In the header when I activate the switch it would bump up. Once after fiddlin' with the ground and no fix, I went the fuse panel and wiggled the fuse to get it running. I don't know how the unloader works on the N5 but if it's clutch driven I'd start with that. HTH |

| There is a safety switch on swivel of auger. Check for current through that switch. Check for current at unloaded solenoid and master solenoid. MACK |
