No forward after being towed

Sideways · 06-29-2019, 12:26 AM

Need some help diagnosing no forward issue.
Last weekend the steering rack in my 1994 Medalist broke and I had to be towed about a mile, home.
My Medalist (Series drive/no tow switch) has been upgraded to 48v along with an Alltrax SR48400, a 400amp solenoid and SW182 reversing contactor.
I do not have forward however I do have reverse.
Solenoid clicks in forward and reverse.
Any suggestions where I should start looking/testing.
All help is appreciated
Thanks

Check if you’re getting 48v out of the r side of the f/r switch. And don’t forget how that switch operates when you’re testing it. Follow the wire from the r side, if you do have voltage, and see if it’s present at the r side of the contactor.

Orangeman6, I have 6.1v to 3 of the lugs that the cables are connected &
-41.6v on the lug the A2 cable is connected to(with the key switch off and F/R switch in neutral).

Did you get this figured out? I got confused and asked if you had power out of the r side, when you said forward is what you’re missing. And I was just starting with the actual direction selector switch, not the contactor.
