Was operating my forklift (2007, SN 675820) when lift/tilt stopped working and multiple flashing lights.. Shut it off and towed it to a safe place out of the way. I googled and read a bunch on here and other places. Neutral was lit, MIL flashed 6 times then paused, then continued that pattern. I could not get the magic sequence for the code, and reading, I assumed 'main relay', so I inspected relays in the two units located below the drivers left hip. They looked old and crappy, but functional, ordered some spare CM1AF-R-12V relays from mouser and moved on to the fusebox below the relays, the main 15a fuse 13 was blown and another 10A, I forget which,17?,, maybe the O2 sensor heater, was blown, replaced those and stocked the spare locations with spare fuses, and the MIL was no longer flashing. I started the engine and about 2 seconds later the MIL started flashing again, and inspecting, the main fuse was blown. I did what every electrical engineer does that is denied easy access to a wiring diagram and put a 20A in for a test. Bingo - pretty soon I smelled magic electrical smoke from below the foot deck, so shut if off and removed the deck and cross-plate that holds the throttle.. I could not see what had gotten warm, so I started it up again, and saw the smoke coming from under the lift/tilt/side valve body and shut it off. I was able to locate the source of the smoke, it was what I would call the 'tilt safety solenoid' (I would use the official name if parts manuals were not treated like state secrets). The closest I can come to determining the part number is "60954-1" or "60955-1"

Can someone help me determine the correct replacement part?
