Crown 30WTL:
Stuck on Forward even with key removed

Just today when I disconnected the charger, our forklift has stuck on forward. Pressing the Stop button does not stop it. Turning off the key does not stop it. The Raising and lowering of the steering mechanism is the only way to stop it. I have toggled the key and even removed it. It still moves forward. I had to disconnect the battery to stop it. Plug it back in and it starts forward again. Shouldn't the key off and removed be failsafe? Is there something simple I should check? I have a multitester.

Fact of the week
Why are denim jeans traditionally blue? While most natural dyes penetrate the cloth fibres when heated, the indigo dye binds externally to the cloth's threads and doesn't reach the core of the yarn. With each washing some of the dye molecules are stripped away which makes the denim fade as the undyed core appears.
