Forklift randomly stops going into forward and reverse but everything else works.

Thank you in advance for your help. I have a 25D-7E with around 2000 hrs on it. This summer it randomly stopped moving forward or reverse. It would start, stop, and all hydraulics work fine. I eventually fixed it by unplugging in all harnesses and plugging them in again. This happened about 5 more times. Each time I was able to get it to work again by unplugging an plugging back in the connection to the electrical board in the steering column. This stopped working and now the lift wont move. I have tested the harness, switches, and replaced the electronic control box. At this point i think i am going to try and replace the electrical board, but I thought i would see if anyone had any advice on what else to try before i did this because it is going to be expensive. Also, if i do need to replace the board i would love suggestions on where to get parts. Thank you!
