I would double check the wiring in the handle again. When wires break at the pivot point there is often more damage further up the harness. If the LED shows 12 or 21 it usually indicates an input problem, so the throttle or direction wires might still be crossed or partially broken.

Good afternoon Cam,

The CBD15J-LI3 uses a Curtis handset#1313K- 4331 with an adapter wire to connect to the DC controller. By the sounds of it I would guess you have some wires pulled out of a connector or possibly crossed some of the wires. What I was going to suggest is to check the inputs and outputs to the controller Via the curtis controller. I think you may have the throttle wires crossed. Please reach out to us via our website and I can send you the error code list (Forklift action does not allow me to attach it as a PDF. https://martinslifttruck.com/ Please fill out the contact us form and I can email you directly. Thanks

Could you please provide the full model number including the configuration number? Should be something like CBD15J-LI3. Also do you have access to a Curtis handset?

Fact of the week
Fishermen in the town of Oostduinkerke on the western tip of Belgium's coast practice a 500-year-old form of shrimp fishing. Known as paardenvisser, the fishermen trawl the shallow waters on Brabant draft horses, pulling funnel-shaped nets to capture the crustaceans.
