6000M Telehandler / Forklift Joystick - Where to Find? Or how to fix?

[wolftrap]

I've dragged this machine out of the weeds where the last guy parked it when he couldn't get it fixed. I found the TM's here and read them.

The only function on the electronic joystick that works is the forward/back motion which raises and lowers the short jib section at the end of the telescopic boom. The side-to-side functions don't work, including fork tilt, the auto-level doesn't work, and the fork positioners don't work. The LED's for this board only barely illuminate with the button up, but fully illuminate with the button pushed down.

Someone has attempted a repair on a resistor on the board, and badly soldered in a new one, ruining one of the underlying traces in the board in the process. The board P/N is 113 8 BM-D, and the joystick unit has a tag on the bottom that says:

UF03XB2CI
CNTR272A+B
24 VOLTS

When I look up the top number, I only get a link to an already-sold unit in Mexico. I'm unfamiliar with any shops that work on boards that are silicone-encased like these are. Help?

I just bought a new joystick controller for my 6000M. It's a EJS3M4695 CONTROLLER.

Call OEM controls. They are the original manufacturer. About $2K

These are all the TM's we have for the Skytrack

Military MHE (Material Handeling Equipment) Better known as Forklifts.

This is The Thread, for all Military MHE (Material Handling Equipment), all Models, to simplify finding them in the Technical Manual, Misc. TM's Forum. Each Post, below this one, will include a different Forklift. As new Forklifts are posted, this thread will be updated. I would like to thank...

Appreciate the reply....glad it took a few months because I managed to find another repair route on my own for less $$$.

If it helps anyone, I took this apart and took the affected board to my local TV and electronics repairman, not expecting much. Without diagrams or any other help, he diagnosed a couple of bad parts on the board in about 20 minutes, had one in stock and had to order the other, and the entire repair including parts cost me around $95.00 and a 1 week wait.

Turns out the silicone encasing it was no problem; he just cut it away to access the board. He said there wasn't anything weird or special on the board, it was all easily replaceable for an electronics guy. So I guess you can either spend $2K on a new joystick (which definitely would give future peace of mind), or spend a $100 or so on repairs with your local guy and use what you already have.
