Fault code A

I have a fault code of A displayed. The truck goes very slow with no hyd. If you turn the key off and then on, you get hyd. I checked the head cap. and found the neg. wire got hot and left scorch marks on the cap. What causes this? Any help? Thanks, Jim

to answer the question at hand
code A is:
Lift truck performance reduced. See Troubleshooting problem 5. Possible cause head capacitor failure.

and in the Problem 5 description it says:
Lift truck accelerates slower than normal with no lift.

- check the connections to the head capacitor and also the cables leading to the pos and neg heatsinks. Make sure they are tight and not corroded or burned. Check continuity.

check contiinuity on wire 34 to logics connector P2-2 , if good continuity then check head capacitor, if that is good then logics is bad.

when I put "jim_v" in my email program, it refuses to send to you...
I would think most folks put a reply address in their profile or somewhere if they want someone to be able to email them.
google gives me 864 choices for "jim_v" ,,,, which one should I use?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
