Have a Electric Hyster J40 and as soon as i connect the plug the motor will turn on. I believe its the control motor, not the drive. Not to sure where to start to look why this is happening. Any info would be great help..thank you

It is either the pump motor or the power steering. You probably have some welded contact tips.

Fact of the week
The term "Spring", referring to the season, originated in the 14th century as "Springing time", describing how plants "spring" or burst into life after winter. In the 16th century "Springing time" was shortened to just "spring" for the season of new growth.
