Can anyone help me troubleshoot and find out why this is now working (electrically)??

Without posting my diagrams, it goes like this;
9am goes to S1
12pm to A1
3pm to S2
6pm to B+

That's what I use for everything EXCEPT the stock controller in a series Ezslo.

still don't understand the EXCEPT part? what is different?

Last time I came across a situation as frustrating as this We sent the controller back to LGS and they repaired the Reversed polarity damage and all was fine.

I’m with Madoc on this. I really hate to keep bothering you Scotty but I’m really trying to understand? If LGS requires a different system wiring diagram than stock, why would they not include that in their instruction??? I bought the controller straight from them so I would think LGS of all people would include that? ESPECIALLY!!!!! If it could cause “reversed polarity damage”!

Good grief, you 2 need to take a chill pill The Ezgo stock controller has the 4th A2 terminal on the controller... Just let me know what you find is wrong. I haven't a clue like everyone else

thx for the explanation scotty on the a2. also going back and looking at the factory parts manual for the 94-95 model, the s1 goes to d and s2 to b, but later manuals have the opposite. that did confuse me, but if wizard is correct it makes no differennce. i agree the issue needs to be looked at by lgs.

this has been entertaining to say the least. Sorry for your frustration Super, but at the same time I feel great about getting help when things go bad on my '95 build. And they will....cause I have NO idea about wiring. Mechanically I'm a decent hand, but electrically....

Please let us know what you find out Super. Good luck

There is more than one way to skin this cat

As far as the connections go, keep in mind that on a series cart direction is controlled by POLARITY to the motor terminals ONLY (this is what the F/R assembly does, reverses polarity). If you have 2 cables coming into the F/R switch, and 2 cables leaving the F/R switch, switching them around would only make the motor spin in the opposite direction. Electricly, it makes no difference, assuming half-speed reverse is not employed.

Maybe this helps, maybe it further muddies the water....
