Pallet Jack will not.turn on

I need help I threw an e card , handle harness and keypad at this pallet jack , I have 24 volts on the battery + and I am only reading 5 volts when I test the battery controller, the display will not light up and it has zero functions I can not find where the #40 black wire hooks in to the battery ground off the controller I believe that is my issue of having a bad ground any input would be greatly appreciated

The etac card needs to be flashed by a dealer. They come empty. 5 volts is the battery constant used by the switches and sensors. There are only 4 wires going to the control handle card as everything is done by canbus communication. If the display will not light up, I suspect a bad display. Does you truck have a key switch or touch pad?

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.
