Hello guys, I've done quite a bit of googling and research on the topic, and after being unable to find someone with my exact or similar problem I felt I would ask the question directly. All the forums I could find the issues were quite similiar, sluggish controls that stopped working, or the upper boom raising but not lowering. My issue is only with the rotation of the turret from the upper controls. It will not turn clockwise or counterclockwise even a smidge from the upper controls, however from the lower controls it works just fine.
The truck is a 92 Gmc Topkick with an altec am600h overcenter boom around 55ish feet. So all the controls in the truck work fine from the lower controls, and both booms also raise and lower from the upper controls. The only issue is the turret will not rotate from the upper controls. I have a feeling I'm overlooking something, but I'm just generally looking to get pointed in the right direction.
It has 3 settings at the lower station, upper/lower/purge.
