Well it's been about a week now that I wet my electric forklift with a hose pipe And it won't start. I thought I was doing a good thing spraying the forklift down to clean it but I actually wet something I wasn't supposed to.i did more bad then good.it keeps giving me (P-Motor I offset and Contactor Fault).does anyone know where the contactor is and how I can get this forklift moving again?

Hi John, Contactor is in the back next to the inverters and logic. If you follow the wires from the emergency stop they go to it. Worth taking big connections off and removing top of contactor to clean as they do have a habit of sticking for no apparent reason. Pump motor current offset is slightly more worrying though but may be water ingress in logic or pump inverter. Point a little fan heater at back panel for a few hours and cross your fingers! :-)

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
