Did anyone help you ?

Seems as though you might have a few bad switches.
Perform Ohms test for Key switch, Deadman Switch and Brake Switch.
If any of these switches have more than 1 Ohm of resistance, then install new switches.
Also, test the battery volts while Lift Motor or Steer Motor is energized.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
