Check the voltage on both the input and output of the controller and post the results here. I'm sure someone will have some helpful info...

If you are getting the proper voltage on both sides of the controller, do the same at the motor...

If you are not getting voltage to the controller, let us know...

I'm gonna bet $100 the speed control burnt up. Pull the cover off of it and get close enough to smell the control. They have a distinctive burnt electronics smell when they fry.

👍🏻 I'm work Scotty! You said it had sat up for a while, chances are the batteries are weak, and the DCS carts do not have a low voltage shut off and are easily subjected to burning up when the voltage is low and the load is high.

Yes - quite typical failure for a stock Curtis DCS control but the aftermarket DCX controls from Alltrax do have low voltage protection and don't suffer from the same fatal flaw, So if you gotta replace it - go with Alltrax DCX400. You will gain about 33% more torque and top speeds of 20 mph
