I have a 2002 400S that is possessed! It has been sitting for a year and i put it out on a job a few weeks ago. Once its warmed up it only does what it wants to do. The drive will only work in one direction and then speractically thereafter. Then it wont steer sometimes. Then the boom wont either go up or down depending on its mood.....
I had a mechanic look at it yesterday and he said that the lift card was bad, but not the drive card. He messed with it for 2 hours and couldnt get the drive to act up. So i am thinking it is deeper than that, what would cause these intermittent problems? Seems to me there is a wire rubbing or something shorting or maybe even it got hit by lightning? I dont know but the bad card thing seems highly unlikely to me. He said he checked over the boom cables and didnt see anything torn or gouged.
Any ideas?
