Default 98 ezgo 36volt wont go reserve only forward

Hey i have a 98 ezgo txt 36 volt cart, i had the curtis box gone through and rebuilt and cam back and still wasnt right but the guy went back threw it and sent it back and was working great. Now its doing the samething again. I took my f/r switch to local golf cart place and they checked that and works fine and i even adjusted my foot pedal to make sure its fine, the solenoid clicks but wont do anything it trys but doesnt move at all. But forward it works great. Iv flicked the tow/run button and still nothing. Hope someone can help me out with this before i take it to the golf cart place and spend alot of money for something hopefully simple. I dont think its the box because it was working great and then one day bam reverse is gone again.

Hi Robert,
Fixing speed controllers is a waste of customers money.
Swap the F1 and F2 wires where they plug into the controller - if the problem reverses direction start pricing a new Alltrax XCT controller.

It sounds like you have a DCS cart. If so, and what Scotty told you try doesn't work, then it would probably be the reverse micro switch. Does your cart have a tow/run switch with the forward and reverse lever located down by your leg?

Repairing controllers is usually a waste of money. Buy a new Alltrax.

The tow/run switch is under the seat by the controller. I took the foward/reverse switch along with the micro switchs to local golf cart place and he said they working fine.

If it's not the reverse micro switch, then I'll agree with the others. Rebuilt/repaired controllers are junk.

Okay guys I switch to F1 F2 wire and it went in Reverse with the Ford and reverse switch in forward position? So I'm guessing the box is junk? What's the best place to get one off the internet cuz I know the local golf cart place is going to jack it up
