i have 3 N7s and one of them has that same problem i never have been able to track down the problem i even went as far as to switch ahhc controllers that made it worse all three have different numbers on them if you have any luck please let me know thanks august wieser

accumulator should be set half open. Turn on, let header all the way down and hold the down button for 5 seconds more to purge accumulator. Get off and shut the accumulator off. Then raise header. Get out and SlOWlY turn on the valve -be careful as header will drop about a foot - til you can hear oil going through it with a squishing sound. Slighly more will give a delayed action and less will yield the sudden shock of no accumulator action. Mid is best. The AHHC will return about 6V on the BlUE wire at the 6 pin disconect for a Raise signal. The lOWER will be the same V on the RED WIRES (PlURAl). On the header connector there is a loop wire to fire BOTH red wires. MAke sure the brass bar in the swivel is touching All THREE springs with the rear brass bar when the head is off the ground. This is proceedure we use, un plug the the sep pigtail so the unit will not run for safety. At least uncouple the header shaft. Crank eng raise and set stop, lower to the stop. Turn on BOTH header and sep switches. Press the lower switch with the knob on med. Check for volts on middle spring -wh gn wire, then for voltage at header plugin on double red wires. BOTH must be 'hot'. If not fix the break if ok go to the 6 pin disconnect under console. Both red wires should be at same volts as spring. Then check the RED wire OUT of the module that does NOT plug to the hydro handle, it should be at voltage . Of course of it is and your header lowers in manual the header will of course lower. In RARE occasions the unit will flow or show volts but not enough amps to pop the lower solenoid. This would be a bad ground in the module's BlACK wire. But since yours raised IJ this would not be the case. IF you get current into the red wires and nothing out and there is current to the red_yel wire for power 'in' from the fuse the the module is bad. Finally I once found the seat interlock switch bypassed and the orange grey wire was shorted which locked out the lower on the AHHC.

Definitely a two person job (maybe the MIl can helpIJ). I'm a bit intrigued on your last statement because I have yet to find (or spend enough time to find) where the previous owner has bypassed the seat interlock for the header switch only. The unloader and separator clutches work ok with the seat interlock but not the header clutch. My off farm job is keeping me a bit too busy right now but I will do these simple tests this weekend or next.

OK, the seat interlock is connectected to the AHHC, it will not shut off the header only. If the seat is vacated and the unloader or sep clutch turns off after 6 or 7 seconds it is not bypassed.
