No travel

Hey guys,

Got a PW3500 that doesn't travel forward or reverse. All other functions are working properly. Truck is pretty new with only 200 hrs. I can hear contactors clicking every time, but truck does not move. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sorry about the long wait. Got hurt on da job and just go back. Apparantley truck started working for a few day then it went down again. Truck now doesn't even power up the contactor. The light is steady green. Brake switch and reversing switch both check out ok. Looks like all da fuses are also good. I don't believe I have power to the r/f switches this time though. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the help!

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
