Reverse Not Working after F&R Replaced
I have replaced my F and R switch. Before I replaced the F &R sometimes I had to put it in reverse then neutral then reverse again to get it to engage and go in reverse. I finally had to replace the F&R because forward stopped working as well.
After replacing the F&R the Forward works fine but Reverse won't work. The buzzer sounds and I can hear a click went I hit the gas but nothing happens. Anybody have any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this problem or has anyone had the same problem??? I cleaned all the connections and fasened them in tight. All of the cables going into the F&R are getting power. and the nuts behind the connection all get power when all are hooked up. I checked the contact studs and they seem to be lined up perfectly. Buzzer is working and I hear a click when I hit the gas but it wont go into reverse. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. jwl0303 |

Re: Reverse Not Working after F&R Replaced
It could be a simple shifter adjustment. The F&R base has 2 slotted holes through which it bolts to the floor. The side to side movement of the F&R using these two slotted holes is the shifter adjustment. If the shifter is out of adjustment you may not be making contact in reverse.
A good way to check for this is to remove the shift linkage from the F&R and use a 9/16 wrench to shift the F&R. If it goes in reverse when shifted with the wrench then you know you have an adjustment issue. |

Re: Reverse Not Working after F&R Replaced
I placed my FNR exactly in Neutral, then shifted it back and forth until the shifter knob was exactly in Neutral. I then tightened the bolts.

Re: Reverse Not Working after F&R Replaced
What F&R did you install? Where did you get it from?

Re: Reverse Not Working after F&R Replaced
Regardless of where he got it from they all work the same.
Check the shifter throw as I laid out in the previous post and recheck your cable locations per diagram below. If shifter throw and cable connections all check out then make sure the rear center nut B in instruction sheet below is tight. You should find your problem in one of these three things. |

Re: Reverse Not Working after F&R Replaced
The reason I ask is because the one I purchased had an interference problem preventing it from getting into reverse. I had to do some trimming to get it in reverse.
If you remove the linkage to the F&R and turn it by hand to make sure it goes into reverse visually, then when in that position check to see if it moves. Just a sanity check I had to do to isolate my problem. |

Re: Reverse Not Working after F&R Replaced
Thank you for the suggestions.
I disconnected the arm and manually moved the switch all the way over to Reverse. Still the same thing, a click in the solenoid when i hit the gas but no reverse. Forward does the same click but it actually goes forward. The Solenoid if getting power. I purchased EZGO 1994'-Newer 36 Volt Series Models (non DCS/PDS) from East Coast Golf Cart Parts online. Is their anyway to find out if it is wired correctly?? Many thanks again in advance. |
