8bru23 retracting when I side shift to the right or when I fork up.

I have this standing reach electrical lift and when I side shift to the right or form up it decided to retract on its own. Anyone have any ideas I could try to repair it

I originally thought it would be a working issue going through to the carriage but I have shot every wire in that area going back and I even did a hang test for the handle but it's still not fixed I had the idea to swap the solenoids over and see if the problem changes to exclude then as possible causes

could be a bad control solenoid on the pentograph control manifold or maybe a problem with the control handle.
If you are not familiar with reach trucks i would get someone that is.
