1987 club car ds 36v f&r wiring issues

21Bigblock

Hello just picked up this older club car for camp. I installed new batteries and cables (their were none) I found some diagrams on line but when I hooked the cables from the battery pack to the f&r switch the first time the cart would go faster in reverse than in the forward position. The batteries would charge. I was told to switch the two battery cables on the F&R switch and see if it helped.... And it did the cart went along fine in forward but the problem is I plugged the charger in and it wouldn't kick on. I thought maybe the batteries were still at a full charge because I didn't really go far. So today I took it out for a ride and tried again the charger still would not kick on so I switched the cables back and didn't the **** charger kick on.. But now It wont get up to speed in forward it will spin the tires in reverse again.. Any and all help would greatly be appreciated

Thanks for the response. I got it figured out. The PO Had replaced one wire from the F&R control and he must have taken them both off to clean the contacts. Anyways I put the wiring back to the original diagram and then looked at the F&R control wires and then it hit me when the lever was in d it went backwards so i swapped the two wires and we are all set. Thanks again for the diagram. Now I'm wondering if this is why I got it so cheap he may have thought it was busted???? His loss
