Lost drive and intermittent hydraulics

Any techs on here that are familiar with a 1998 r16 reach truck, I have fixed the dropped cell, that I had but I have lost the drive forwards and back and hydraulics only work only when the key is turned on and only for a split second, then nothing and the hydraulics only work when key is turned off and when turning back on and only for a split second every time. The steering motor works ok, and horn and the flashing lights but that's it. Any help trying to dia these faults would be most welcome. There is no brake pedal as the master cylinder needs replacing, but this has always been the case since I have owned it and this didn't stop it working before. I look forward to some responses.
