Buster and TommyFrank, Thanks to both of you for your responses. Below is the info you requested or answers to your questions.

E100
Model 35SCTT-S. Serial No. 1A150432
Battery voltage is present on one side of the drive contractor, but manually closing this contractor does not cause the points to spark. Points are in good condition. Leads me to believe the circuit is open downstream of this switch.

The way I washed off the battery pack, I don't believe water got on the front or rear electrical components. In any case, it has been 102 to 107 degrees every day here since I washed the battery pack over 3 weeks ago. If any got wet they would surely be dry by now.

The voltages on the Card TB-11 screws 1 to 6 are as follows. (Key on and Battery voltage = 36.78
1. -23.78 2. -12.59 3. +11.70 4. +11.81 5. -23.82 6. -12.58.
I don't understand the negative values.
I was told the voltage with key on should be: 1. =3 TO 3.7, 2,3,4 = battery voltage and 5 or 6 = battery voltage only when Forward or Reverse is selected.

I have had two technicians from a local forklift company come out and work on the Crown forklift. Neither one had the expertise to diagnose the problem. The first one stayed about 1.5 hours and the second 2.5 hours.
Both left without providing any helpful information much less fixing the problem. I will try a few checks with ANY INFORMATION info y'all provide and if unsuccessful, will locate a Crown Forklift shop and take my Crown to them.
Thanks again for your help and epertise.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
