The lift truck starts right up flip to forward and it doesn't go. Flip switch to reverse and it goes. No forward? Any suggestions on where to look?

Without serier number hard to tell but if older model l would open covers on steering column and look at switches some had four switches two in center and two on each end one is forward and one reverse check to see when in gear that switch is working sometimes switch gets worn and does not make contact with arm also l have seen wiring coming off switch if checks out go to coils on top of trans one is forward and one reverse normally both have common ground when in gear forward should get positive from switch and when in reverse should get the same.the two in center switches are natural for starter

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
