I recently purchased a low hour(3k) 8FGU25. Looks and runs flawlessly except for one thing...

The Auto Leveling feature does not work. The rubber boot for the auto level button is not present, but the electrical button although exposed is still there and seems functional, however this is merely speculation as I have not electrically tested it yet.

I removed the kick panel and could not find any bad connections/quick connect plugs.

I checked all the fuses and made sure they are good and in their appropriate locations. However, it did seem like it might be missing a relay in the location that is marked as a optional relay. *edit* marked "C/OPN"

Is the auto leveling feature on a circuit with it's own relay or shared by another?
Is there anywhere else on the forklift that I should be looking to diagnose the failure?

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
