Hydraulic pump outages

Hello everyone,

Clark is not my ususal brand to work on, so i don't know the usual problems.
My customer has a Clark Cem16S 2001, sometimes the hydraulic pump works fine for lifting, tilting and shifting, and sometimes nothing happens when you opperate the lift-, tilt- or shift-stick. Only when i touch the drive pedal, the pump runs slow for steering. The signals from switches and potentiometer from lift,tilt and shift-stick are fine.
I suppose that this problem is caused by the pump electronics. But it's a bit expensive to just change. I hope that anyone recognize this problem and knows the answer to solve it.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
