Hi there

I dont know much about the truck itself, but I can tell you a bit about the pulsomatic. Its a cableform control unit which controls the drive system. If i understand its a pulsomatic mark 10 system then it will be a power unit made up of 2 black aluminium blocks clamped together. Some of these have a small module which has a row of spade terminal connectors normally coloured yellow, blue,red, white and green i think.
The other unit looks similar but has a logic card enclosed in a black plastic box known as the 17191 logic card.
From what i understand for these controllers, the power steer and pump do not work through pulsomatic controller, rather the contactor is supplied with a direct feed either pos or neg and the other feed to the contactor coil is switched through switches.

For example if the power steer contactor coil is fed with a direct positive, then perhaps either through the park brake switch or seat switch they feed a negative supply to the contactor coil.
Similar with pump contactor if its fed directly with a positive then the hydraulic lever switches the negative supply.

The problem is possibly a lost feed either directly to the contactor coils or from the switching side. I would guess the direct common feed to the contactor coil has been lost. If someone can provide a diagram it should be simple to follow.

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.
