Default 94 marathon fnr switch hot, smoking

94 marathon 36v converted to 48, 48 v solenoid, 400 amp controller, 4 gauge wire, stock motor. Stock fnr switch. Cart has 25 inch tires. Running on Halloween with 4 adults and 3 kids carts fnr switch got very hot on some big hills to the point it was smoking a lil in the cold. I have cleaned it and all connections are clean and tight prior to today. Is it time for a heavy duty.

Actually that time is past
What a good little cart, you should not have made it home with the load, the hills, & the tires combined.

what exactly is going to happen, will the fnr switch burn up, or am i looking at controller, motor damage due to the switch not carrying the load right.

The cart may just stop or it may catch fire.... hard to say. Probably just stop working, intermittently at first... or maybe suddenly altogether? It's really hard to say.

Don't drive it. Once the FNR starts smokin' it's finished.

Ask me how I know.
