Hello All,
We have a crown that when lifted past the height limit switch ( Top left of mast) It will not tilt fwd or back and sometimes won't lift at all. Does not do it all the time. Anyone run into this problem and what was the fix???? THX

or it may be that one of the tilt cylinder eyes have unscrewed a bit from the cylinder causing maladjustment of the cylinders, which in turn will cause the switch and or linkage to the switch on the tilt cylinder to be out of adjustment.
but the switch is where I would start looking.

"it's not rocket surgery"
if not switch or associated wiring could be the lift interlock module or card/relays depending on which is fitted

Start looking at the switch on the tilt cylinder. It could be bad, mis-adjusted, and open intermittenly. It is not going to tilt forward if the switch tells the truck it is always tilted forward. It is not going to lift if the switch is open once you get past that switch on the mast.
