Well the volt meter lights up and thats all

BigBootz

I wired everything up last night and today and wellllll the volt meter works. nothing else. lmao. I knew it wouldn't but glad to see something worked.
Question: On the HD F&R micro switch, are there supposed to be two wires coming off of it? and if so where do they go to? a diagram would be nice. Its converted 48v series with 500amp alltrax controller.

Well found the loose wire. I got it going forward but when in reverse it just shakes and barely inches forward. something hooked up incorrectly

shadowman

yes something isn,t hooked right, what are we dealing with?....................

BigBootz

First you are dealing with a greenhorn as this is the first time I have atempted to do anything like this before. I started with a 96DS 36v series cart with resistors. I tore it down to the frame. Did away with everything except the charger plug-in and the key switch. Got a 6" suspension from imaginative and a high torque motor (was going to do his 4x4 conversion but ran out of money, will add later), got a axe 500 controller from Scottyb along with all the HD wires, solenoid and F&R Switch, and got a votage reducer from everything carts along with a light kit and seat covers. I wish I knew how to put pictures on here so you could see how I have it wired. Thanks for the input Shadow

shadowman

is solenoid clicking? is the controller light coming on? what color? you didn,t run any grounds to frame? did,t scotty give you a wiring diagram?........there should be wiring diagrams in the stickies....have you checked voltage from pack................................

BigBootz

Got reverse working swapped up 2 wires to motor

BigBootz

it runs forward and backwards now. Light on controller does not come on though I am working with scotty on this matter. yeas I have Diagrams but not 1 with everything (controller, solenoid, v-reducer, HD F&R,) showing how to tie all these together. Told ya I am Green. I am figureing it out though its kinds\a fun to tell wife I got to stay in garage to fix cart(drink beer)

BigBootz

think I got it for now. got light on controller finally. just needed a few beers to straighten out my mess I made this afternoon

Meat Man

Sometimes that's all it takes ! Sort of gives you time to ponder the situation .

shadowman

ok so now were good.............so just drink a few beers and leave cart alone......lol................glad ya got it worked out isn,t it amazing how you can swap something and change 1 wire at a time and still find a way to hook something up wrong.....if i can figure out how to solve that puzzle i,ll be a rich man..................................
