Voltage leak



Hello to everyone,
I have started to search for my Ground fault problem once again and I
found something which appears strange.
	The contactor on Ya Volt is wired to open up whenever the throttle is
let up and yet when the contactor is open and the key is off I am able
to read 97.5 volts on the contactor B+ and B- terminals.  Shouldn't
this read 0 volts at least until the contactor is closed? Does this
mean that there is a huge trace problem in the contactor?
TIA,
Bill
