Discussion:
Truck won't move...

I don't have schematics or a service manual so I really don't know where to start!

There is a red light on the dash with a plus/minus sign (pos/neg???) that is on. The battery indicator indicates a full charge. Battery passes every test I threw at it.

Where do I start?

Thanks in advance!

Calvin

Edit: Wow I didn't realize that Id had this forklift since July or that I had already started a thread!

Showing items 1 - 4 of 4 results.
51v at the battery right now. Its been a few days since I topped off the charge.

techno_nz: Thanks for your time!

r/h side panel was not installed so once I installed it the light went away. Still no traction though. The deeper I look the more problems I see. Now the parking brake light is on but does not go out once the brake is released. I removed the panel and tested the switch and its fine. I'm really feeling the need for a set of schematics now. Also now, even though the battery is fully charged, the battery level indicator shows empty with a flashing yellow battery light below the indicator.

There is a loud beeper, beeping, when the truck is turned on, and I can here a different beeper under the floor plate beeping quietly when the truck is off.

On the controller board (lower left side, under the back panel by the EV100) which has two relays, two momentary switches marked "display" and "clear" there are two connectors. On the 9 pin connector (top connector) there is a burnt contact which sometimes connects and other times doesn't. that pin is the bottom rightmost pin. Every now and then I clear out a 48 error code with the clear button.

And finally (for now!) there is an intentionally disconnected red wire in the ignition panel. It has a note attached that reads: "DC converter pos Feed? Short in circuit. Originally connected to Ksw pos."

There seems to be one terminal on the key switch that has no wire attached.

Both the red door handle (on the left side panel) and the bonet latch are fully closed. The red handle turns the truck off when it is opened. once closed a restart of the key switch is required to turn the truck back on so I believe it works as expected at this time..

Thanks again for your time and consideration!

If the red light (+/-) is top right on the display panel then the battery retainer is not in place correctly and you'll have no traction. With the seat up, make sure the r/h side panel by the battery is installed correctly and activating the switch. I think you also need the Bonnet latch pushed across and locked down too (behind your feet)

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
