hydralic pump takes a minute to stop after stopping raising/lowering forks

5FBE10 TOYOTA
Raising and lowering the forks, , after stopping, it takes a minute for the hydralic pump to stop. If turning the key off, than it stops straight away. Is it a bad contact or a faulty switch
Thanks

Hi Ron

Thanks for the info, it was a microswitch sticking, WD40 did the trick and all works well now
Thanks again for your valuable advise

Check the coil ohms on the contactor , also tips, springs etc. most likely the contactor pivot is worn , return spring, and some had magnets stuck to the sides of them for debris.
Check also the switch to turn on the pump. On each lever. Ohm out unhooked and check the rollers and return springs. Tilt and SS should be centered properly. Check also lever bushings, lever rods, pins etc for wear. Keeping the switch on longer to due to a misaligned or sticky
switch
