One of our units has developed a strange habit. When forks first is selected... the direction indicator/pointer LCD on the dash... the little arrow moves smoothly around the clock face while one is steering, then suddenly jumps from "4 oclock" to "9oclock " so to speak and the machine suddenly reverses unexpectedly?
When cab first is selected the arrow moves smoothly around the dial and it transitions normally/smoothly from forward to reverse as per normal??
There are no codes.

Thanks for the tip! Once I got the old switch out, it was obvious it had been used a little "harshly". Although I guess it was the original. 11,000 hours of flipping back and forth takes its' toll.
A good test for checking the direction switch is.
With the truck switched on & your sitting on the seat, select a direction, press & hold down deadman pedal, briefly press the accelerator pedal to release the parking brake & then see if the truck will try & creep away uncommanded.
After a few seconds flick the direction switch to the other direction & see if it will creep away in the other direction uncommanded.
Replaced steer motor... no help.
Replaced "forward reverse" switch assembly !!!! Problem solved.
