no reverse at first when it rains then it dies completely after awhile
I have a 2005 club car ds 48volt cart that will not go in reverse when it rains out. At first it will only go forward but after a little while longer riding around it loses all power. some have new fwd and rev switches and others have new controllers. i can not figure this problem out it seems to have no rhyme or reason to me. thanks for your help

Is it a problem with more than one cart?
Some have new F&Rs? |

Maybe the micro-switches are getting wet? Are your solenoids clicking when the carts won't go?
Are the Alltrax LED lighting up green when the carts wont go? |

yes the solenoid clicks and i'm 90% that the controller still blinks. i will have to double check next time one dies might happen again today.

It is a strange problem.....the controller does the actual directional switching and so it is either the signal to switch (Rocker switch) or the controller. I think?

these carts are ds they have the lever forward and reverse switch which reverses the polarity to the motor. i believe your thinking of the president carts.
