Won't go into Forward or Reverse

I just bought this forklift and everything was working fine for about two hrs. Then, we tried to back it up and it would not move. We were able to go forward and parked it. Now it won't go forward or reverse. The hydraulics for the forks work fine. I also noticed it will not start if the parking brake is on? Any ideas as to what the problem might be?
Thanks,
Beer_man

If you haven't figured it out yet you might want to look down and buy all the hydraulic connections on top right of the transmission there's two connectors for the switches they get dirty and cause bad connection.

I found the switch and it seems to work for the dash light. How do you test the shift side?

Check your parking brake switches,there are two,one is for the dash bulb the other is for the start circuit and also provides the ground circuit for the fwd/rev Solenoids.either there is a wire off of the switch or the switch itself is bad,switches are located at the top of the park brake foot pedal....

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
