It's a trick question, like Jeopardy?
The answer is What's a DCS cart with a bad controller.:lol:

Seriously, look at the chart below and identify your drive system.... it's series or DCS?

looks like dcs by your chart . thanks .where do we go now

Re: 1998 ezgo txt electric no reverse
 

Back to your other thread on the same question? :lhmo:

There are 3 options:
New OEM = most expensive 275 amp controller not suitable for modified carts
rebuilt OEM = same but up to 300 amps, still not suitable for anything more than golf course use. High failure rate with some rebuilders
Aftermarket 400 amp DCX Alltrax and HD solenoid = suitable for modified carts on 36-48v. 30% more torque and speeds up to 24mph.
That's what I would use.

thank you for the help. any way to jump it out to test it

Re: 1998 ezgo txt electric no reverse
 

swap the black and white #10g field wires and now you will have reverse, no forward. It is in the controller. Flip the TOW switch before doing any electrical work on your cart.

Re: 1998 ezgo txt electric no reverse
 

can we still use it until we change the controller or will we do any more damage

Re: 1998 ezgo txt electric no reverse
 

Yes, you just will not have reverse

Re: 1998 ezgo txt electric no reverse
 

If the reverse beeper worked before you had problem, does it still sound when F/R is in R, even though cart goes forward?

If not, check for Battery Pack Voltage on Pin 4 (Org wire) of controller when F/R is in R.

You probably won't do any more damage to anything except the controller, but I'd carry a cell-phone with me if I ventured more than comfortable walking distance from home. :mrgreen:
