Hello and welcome to fixaforklift.com

The first thing that comes to mind when I experience this issue is the battery, but a lot can cause this,

Make sure battery is at least at 12 bolts and both posts are making good contact,

As far as fuses that can also cause this, it's best to check with voltage or a test light for just looking at the fuse could be mistaking for a good fuse,

Power might be going into the key switch but is it coming out when you are turning it?

Key switch is usually last resort but again still a possibility, if you need a diagram let me know,
Try to wiggle the switch as you try to start it, if you had lights it would be a different diagnosis, but since you have no lights, it's more likely the main fuse does not have current flowing through it,

Not sure the safety features on your lift but also make sure when you are trying to start it seat belt is on, parking brake is on, and you are sitting on the seat, some lifts won't turn on without this procedure

Please let me know if this helps thank you

Hello and thanks for the input. I suspected it had to be a power problem but i had looked and checked
for blown fuses without any luck. I took a brake from it and when i went back to it sure enough it was a single little fuse box that was really hidden. When i opened it the fuse looked good but as i was taking it out it came out without a leg so yeah it was broken. I don't have a diagram but I'm assuming it is the main fuse 30 amps. so thanks again for the help.

Now with this issue solved let me take advantage one more time. I have a Nissan model CPHO2P921999 that's been just sitting there for almost 2yrs and we left it there because the Caterpillar is been running good. I need to fix it for back up does anybody know where i can get a rebuilt master cylinder and power booster i understand there is a big difference in price between new and rebuilt.

What do you guys recommend? once again thank you all for taking the time. have a good weekend.
