club car will only drive in reverse
I have a club car 2004 DS IQ 48 volt, it will only drive in reverse when I select forward the solenoid will click twice but will not move, I have swapped the wires over Blue and Orange on the control box and selected reverse and the car will run forward and but then no reverse? any help would be appreciated Many thanks

Re: club car will only drive in reverse
Replace the forward/reverse switch. Check it with a ohm meter to be sure.

Re: club car will only drive in reverse
the switch seems fine and it transpires that the guy who was helping me with work on the car has just told me that he decided to wire brush the contacts on the motor while it was connected and court the 2 terminals White and orange A2 & F2 posts on the Motor and a spark came from them. (OH great) this is when the problem started. any idea what to do next please

Re: club car will only drive in reverse
Vehicle will run in forward, but not in reverse or will run in reverse but not forward
Forward/Reverse rocker switch – improperly wired Motor – improperly wired Check motor wiring. Speed controller – improperly wired or failed speed controller FET Since the wiring wasn't changed,.... you should always place in tow mode and disconnect batteries when working around the controller area,... |

Re: club car will only drive in reverse
I hope that your not thinking it's ok just because it clicks.

Re: club car will only drive in reverse
all seems ok with the wires as none have been moved they all seem to make good contact. I have put the volt meter onto the 2 small terminals on the solenoid and in reverse get a full battery reading of 47volts when I depress the pedal but when I put into forward position and depress the pedal I get 36volts for a split second then no reading at all ????????????? HELP

might just be a logic problem from the sparks, Speed controller logic malfunction Disconnect the batteries and allow the speed controller capacitors to discharge. |

Re: club car will only drive in reverse
I'm curious. Is the solenoid clicking in both forward and reverse?

Re: club car will only drive in reverse
yes the solenoid clicks once when you put it into reverse and with the car jacked up it runs great backwards then as I put it into forward when I press the pedal it click and tries to pull forward and the solenoid just clicks a couple of times but the wheels don't turn
