Intermittent starting issues

I have a Yale 2005 GLP080 forklift S#E813V03181C that some times won't turn over. Iv'e tested the battery and it's good, cleaned the terminals and made sure all cable connections are secure. When it won't turn over i can hold the key in the start position and toot the horn the lift will turn right over and start every time doing this. I figure its the starter or the ignition hopefully, but I'm on a shoe string budget and can't just throw $ at it. I'am new to Power trucks (About 1 Year) but can repair anything with a little information. Thanks!

You have wiring issues. Check the wiring back to the starter relay. It sounds like a relay issue. You need to determine if the relay has solid supply voltage. Could be a ground issue also.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
