Exactly same problem !!! Pulled the old Bosch one out and took it O'Reilly's Auto and got 2 @ $6 a piece.... Problem Solved !!! And if you want to waste $ you can go your CAT dealer an spend $25 a piece for the same part. I wasted $$ replacing both fuel solenoids and God knows what else, but this $6 part as solved it..
I had the same problem. It was the relay that powers the fuel shutoff solenoid. It is located in the breaker box that sits on the engine above the transmission in my 99 400DA. Yours might be similar. Very easy to replace. I replaced them on both engines and bought a spare. If I remember correctly it was a Bosch relay that was discontinued but I was able to cross reference it to a tyco part.
Good luck
Pete
