To my I spend a 8fg30 and what damage were small springs carrying the control solenoid valve ( they broke ) at the bottom of control and caused the mast was not working nor inclination. Replace the springs and fixed the problem.

Just ran into a similar problem and found the ecub fuse the issue. If you can get an analyzer to see if it communicates with anything, that would help.

Check the electrical interface box under the step plate hasn't got wet / suffering from corrosion.
