Hey guys, please help.

I need the 36v to 48v, resistor to solid state. I wasnt thinking and ordered the 5k-0 controller and the 0-5k potentiometer. It wont work, surprise surprise. I cant find the right one I need, is there a place that sells it? Can I convert the one I have?

If the control is an Alltrax you can change the throttle input program to 5k-0

Your typical Curtis type potentiometer has 3 terminals and 2 wires....... when viewed let say these terminals are # 1 2 3. You will need to move a wire from one end to the other like #1 to #3 or the opposite #3 to #1 to reverse the output.

In the picture shown, the blue wire was moved from terminal #3 to #1

Hmmmm...Ill look at the back of my potentiometer, Ill see what it lloks like, I know that there are 3 locations on the micro switch attached and 2 wires coming out. Ill check to see if the 2 wires coming out have a 3rd output not being used.

You will have to open the box if you want to reverse the output.

Thanks for the MOD advice Scotty, your knowledge ceases to amaze me. You should run for congress.

So I did this, disconnected the 3 wire and connected it to the 1 terminal...still no go. Before I was atleast getting the solenoid to click. Now I get nothing.
