Dash doesn't Turn on and no led light on master controller.No functions at

Hello hopefully someone can help me with this one as this one is kicking my butt. Initially, I got called to this forklift cause the operator was in the back of a truck and the lift just completely shut off on him and since then they could not get it to start back up. We had it brought to the shop and had the drive motor rebuilt, and temp and wear sensors replaced. We just recently replaced the master controller on the right side. However the problem is I'm not getting any lights on the new controller. My boss ordered it from flight systems but my question is, do these main controllers need to be reprogrammed?. Thanks. I've check voltage every where and checked fuses and not sure what to do.

Hello thanks for the reply I finally figured it out. The ignition wire from key to master controller had a open in it. Rewired the ignition wire and it works like a charm now.

Serial number would help as each lift has something different. Some controllers have to be setup as master or secondary if you have two. Sometimes different files need to be updated. Make sure you are getting voltage across the estop, all fuses are good and no cables or motors are shorted to frame. Good Luck
