Motor Break fail? 2016 RXV

[ojo]

The problem with a HD brake is the higher power consumption and that may produce trouble with the controller, especially on newer Curtis RXV's!
And, nobody really needs a HD parking brake...

Turn the ignition key to reverse, wait till the reverse indicator becomes silent then turn key off

Where does the key position start, off I presume? Therefore from off to reverse to off again in this step?

I'll follow these steps tonight, thank you

Anytime removing the cables have key off and cart in tow.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Trevor

First click is the solenoid, followed by 2 clicks of the spinning test ( back/forth ) from brake assembly.

Remove the two T27 torx screws on the rear cover
Choke the wheels
Disconnect the negative cable on the battery pack
Turn the ignition key to reverse, wait till the reverse indicator becomes silent then turn key off
Disconnect wire harness from motor brake
Remove the three 10mm hex screws and lock washers from brake
If bolts are rusty replace them
Remove brake if there is residue on motor be sure to clean it use a wire brush
Position the brake with the connector at the top, install the three hex screws loosely.
Connect wire harness to the motor brake, re-connect battery negative cable
Turn ignition to neutral, turn Run/Tow switch to Tow position, this provides power to the brake to align the disc material
Set torque wrench between 53 to 65 in. lbs (6-8 Nm) and tighten screws be sure not to over tighten
Turn key back to the off position
Move Run/Tow switch back to Run position
Put rear back cover on

I am about to take another pass at this, since the new motor break is already mounted is it a required step to remove it again then remount?

Yes start completely over.

Okay, started completely over following instructions noted and the cart still will not move. check voltage going to motor break and its 48.

I am baffled. Thoughts?
