Started as a complaint with no forward, you could hear the controller whine, but didn't have enough power to pull, reverse worked well. I charged it, came back, no difference, I swaped diodes in heat sink by fwd, rev contactors, and I had fwd but no rev, actually it moved very slow in reverse, but the controller, or chopper whined really loud, I guess that would be the big capacitor on the front firewall. Put a new diode in it, and worked well untill I left got a call back, no movement what so ever, contactors kicked in and out right away. I retraced my steps by checking all connections, and replaced a lug on the cable to the buss bar on top of the fwd rev contactors. Now I have fwd again and it whines out in reverse. When those forklifts move, is the whine a chopper, or SCR sort of affair.? I'm completly back to the beginning. Any Toyota guys out there, could really use your help

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
