Tilt problem

The reach works fine. The problem is it always reaches. When tilting, the reach works at the same time. Same with side shift. Lift is ok. I checked harness all the way from control unit thru the mast and reach arms. No shorts or opens. Any other ideas? Could use any other ideas. Thanks

Turns out one of the relays under the steer handle was burned closed so the reach was always on. Replace the three relays for the reach, tilt and side shift. Fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.

check your function solenoids and cartridge valves at the main manifold block on the carriage. It sounds like one of them is not working and not diverting fluid correctly.
