48v Bad Boy accelerator retrofit issues

gyoder · 01-16-2019, 01:38 PM

I have an older 48volt 4wd bad boy that was recalled to install a accelerator upgrade, it has never worked since, does anyone have a wiring schematic for this upgrade? they took the main lead from the battery to add-on solenoid then to the navitas controller, the #10 wire from the upgrade kit to activate this main add-on solenoid has voltage when the switch is off and no voltage when the switch is on, so the solenoid is engaged when the with is off,, where do I start?

I think this is what you are looking for. FRK wiring diagram and Diagnostic Information.pdf

When we have to replace the controllers the accelerator upgrade becomes mandatory. With the upgrade kit there should be a paper service bulletin which should assist with the modification.

does anyone have an old acc pedal setup , I want to completely take the retro pedal upgrade off and go back with the original, it worked fine and after the dealer installed this mandatory upgrade we have had nothing but trouble

or I am looking for a copy of the manual that comes with the field retro kit, the schematic is not detailed enough

gyoder · 01-17-2019, 02:22 PM

can I just buy a pot box/pedal and go back to the original setup?

thanks, I finally just started calling dealers because there is a schematic that comes with the retro kit but I couldn't find one, a guy from Breland Machinery in Al. knew every wire and told me where it was wired wrong I corrected all mistakes and its working, Guys like this are rare this day and time, he knew his stuff and was helpful.
