Both the "Reverse Select" contact as well as the F/R contact are both good. Put the controller back in (took it out to get the model numbers). If I put the F/R arm between the two limits, the rocker switch is not energized and the solenoid is not being energized. But in either Forward or Reverse the Solenoid operates with the pedal.

When in Reverse, the A1 and A2 wires don't draw a lot of current, but when you depress the pedal in forward, there is apparently a lot of current draw through the motor, enough that the magnetic flux makes the two wires tug toward each other (probably a 100 amp plus current draw). I am wonderig if the F1 and F2 are not being energized when in the forward position.
