Werid issue

Hey wondering if anyone has encounterd the fault im looking at.

Everything works... exept when i turn the direction lever to sideways nothing happens exept the pumpmotor goes up in rpm, but neither the front wheels or rear wheel change rotation. if i turn the steering wheel manually (takes sevral rotations) it will engne the sideways drive, and return if i put the directions lever in forward, but it will never do sideways any ideas?

Sounds like the input from the directional lever is working if the pump motor kicks into higher rpm.

I wouldnt think anything wrong with the steer sensors, relay 9 or the 6 port valve if you can manually steer into side mode as well.

Id be checking the 90 degree mode change solenoid on the electric section of the control valve to see if the coil is okay, connected and that the coil connector has a red light on it when you have selected side mode while in F/R mode.

hi sounds like the gear lever is faulty check any loose wires check replace lever if necessary - check wheel sensors are liluminated check sensors are in the right place not been hit or damaged and also relay number 9 behind the console where your gauges are which can cause that same problem good luck hope this helps im sure richard irwin from combilift can help you further
