No Movement Forward or Reverse

We have a lift that, after hitting a bump, will not move forward or in reverse. If you unplug the battery and plug it back in, you can attempt to move in either direction, and all that happens is a spark and a jolt in either direction, but nothing to follow. It will move up and down. Any suggestions?

Your hyd leak has nothing to do with your travel issue. Can you hear the contactors pull in when you turn the throttle?

Did you have any luck with this situation? Ours has currently started doing this same thing but we also have a hydro leak on the lift mast. I'm wondering if low fluid levels could cause the drive not to function. Might not be the same diagnosis on yours.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
