Sounds like you have a series drive.

If it runs in reverse, but not forward and the solenoid clicks when the pedal is pushed with direction selector lever in forward, the high current contacts in the F/R switch are not making contact.

Except for the microswitch that sounds the beeper and put controller into 1/2 speed (if so equipped), all the components used in reverse are used in forward, so the culprit is the F/R contacts.

This what I got for readings on the F/R switch in the fwd position key off I got 1.4ohms and on the reverse I got 2.2ohms. The carts unlimited page says it should 0.4ohms or less so I'm guessing this is a bad F/R

Remember, there is two sets of contacts for Reverse and two sets for Forward.
