Default Pds goes in reverse when switch is forward

I have a 2004 pds. Batteries are about a year old and I am maintain them religiously. Tonight, when I went to back it up, there was no beep and it did not go. When I toggled the switch to forward, the reverse beeper started beeping and when I pressed the floor pedal, it went in reverse while the switch was in forward. I hope this is not a controller issue!!!!
Could the switch be faulty or am I faced with getting a new controller?

Thank you,
Bob P

The switch has three wires. I would pull out the key/switch panel and check the switch. Pull the terminals off of the switch and if you touch the top terminal to the middle one the cart should go forward. If the switch checks out you need to get into the control box. There was a recent thread about a similar issue and Scottyb posted wiring diagram of the PDS control box.

Here is that thread http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...ml#post1068852

Sounds like a bad F/R rocker switch.

Gray wire to Green wire is Forward, Gray to Orange is Reverse.

Be sure to put Run/Tow switch into Tow when connecting/disconnecting any wires anywhere on a PDS cart.

You can ohm the switch out at the controller molex plug #J1 (see diagram)
If the switch tests good this is a controller failure as I suspect.

Test the plug pin #1>#2 in one direction and pin #1>#3 in the other.
