on some of the three wheel nissans there is a pot above the back wheel which controls the contactors. i had a faulty pot which caused this fault. but like i said it was a nissan.

Is it a three wheel truck?
On the old type three wheeled Cat EP forklifts there are two changeover direction contactors one for each drive motor. One is normally in forward and the other is normally in reverse, so if the contactor that is normally closed in reverse is not operating then that motor will only run in reverse.
