Do the rails continue lowering while the forks remain stationary? If so, the mast isn't staging properly. Innerslide lube and repeated lifting-lowering usually fixes this (in older, seldom used trucks).

If the forks continue lowering just as if the switch was still engaged, then you might have a sticking solenoid. On some old solenoids you could flip the coil and counteract the problem of a magnetized valve body. You could try swapping out the solenoid if you have a sister truck.

Fact of the week
The first practical visible-spectrum LEDs were red, not white. The red colour was the easiest to produce using the semiconductor materials available at the time (the 1960s). The alloy gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) used emitted red light.
