Thanks in advance for the help.
I have my Hyster J40XMT2 3 wheel 48v forklift and it has been doing some weird stuff lately.
When the key is off, the rear LED lights stay on, I figured it was a bad relay somewhere but I was just replacing the steering pot (Thanks for this forum for help with that btw) and noticed that the steering pot gets a constant 4.3V feed regardless of key position.

Is there something I should look for? there are few contactors on this this unit and none appear welded and none have continuity when off.

Its frustrating as I do not use the truck often and it drains the battery over time.
