Removal Of LPS Rated-Mak-Saf Switch Issue's

We want to remove the Rochester Mak-Saf switch located under the floorboard on the left side below the fuse block. The problem now is it causes a large current draw on the battery when the forklift is not running. It runs & charges fine other then that.
We are wondering if there is a relay of some sort we need now ?

When I used to work at a forklift paint company ( http://www.industrialtouchup.com ), we tried to remove a mak-saf but ran into the same problem. Our mechanic didn't know what to do, so we just tabled it and are still waiting for a solution.
