We recently acquired a used forklift. When we received this unit, the battery's were dead, (this machine sat for several years). We started charging the battery, and when we plugged in the pack, we could hear the pump kick in when you moved the fork leavers, and the steering worked. When you steeped on the gas, You could hear the traction motor wanting to kick in, but the pumps spooled down, I was sure it was because the battery's were near enough charged. Now the battery is charged, when you turn on the key, the strobe comes on, back-up alarm comes on when you shift to reverse, but no pump when moving the fork levers, no steering, traction motor does not even click, and no display on dash. When you manually push in the Pump and steering contractor, the respective motor comes on.

Thanks:
