Product Overview
That classification matters: it is not simply an engine solenoid for a 3034 engine. A failed coupler solenoid can prevent the hydraulic lock/unlock circuit from operating even when the switch and mechanical coupler components are intact. Wiring, coil resistance and hydraulic pressure should be checked during diagnosis.
Caterpillar application data lists 249-7160 across models including 216/216B, 226/226B, 232/232B, 236/236B, 242/242B, 246-series, 247/247B, 248B, 252-series, 256C and 257-series machines. Verify serial range and valve block configuration.
