Halleluyah. Remove FOR/REV contacts completely from forklift. Completely dismantled. Little deposit on plunger. Wire brushed it off. cleaned everything with brake cleaner. sprayed it with graphite, reassembled and voila It works perfectly so far. About an hours worth of wharehouse work. Will put it through a few heavy days this week and see. Let me see if I have this right. I put into forward it tries to close contact maybe draws a little more than it should and trips PMT.
does that make sense. Just by the way what is the little unit on the side of the FOR/ REV contact looks like two diodes and a thermocouple?? its in line with the small wire connections?
thanks to all
