Discussion:
Steering Switches problem?

Hi All, I'm new here as far as posting but I have read this forum for a while. I am working on a Linde E15S-02 S/N H2X324M0215716 that has been teasing me. It operates good until the steering is turned past 22deg left. At this point it stops moving in either direction, until the steering is turned to the right. Sometimes it will not move regardless of the steering wheel position. I think that this truck was moved without being on, this may have messed it up. I don't know where to find steering sensors or switches on this machine, if that is even the problem. Any help is appreciated.

I can get some pictures of the rear compartment if that would help. I don't think that there is access through the battery compartment and I would think that there is a reasonable way to get to the switches.

Thank you, this is a great start.
Do you know how to access the switches? Do I need to remove the contactors and wiring above the steer wheels? I have searched but I have not found much in the way of service manuals for Linde. I did purchase a download but it is not helpful for this problem.
Any information that you have is greatly appreciated.

The steering switches are located at the top of the steer axle in the rear compartment. One of them is most likely not working.
