No Travel

The Hydraulics work, but no travel fwd or reverse. When I move the handle to drive fwd or reverse the unit jumps twice and then contactor opens. I have checked directional switches - all under 5 ohms. I checked both brake switches for battery voltage across them with pedal depressed. I checked the accel pot, seems very erratic, at neutral it measures 5k ohms, but as I move the handle forward or reverse, the reading is all over the place and does not go to zero ohms at full fwd or reverse. Any help would be appreciated.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
