88 ezgo marathon issue
This last year I've installed the following
4ga wire (all) Added 22 x 10 tires Installed 2 yr old batteries out of a bad boy buggy cart Added Jakes lift ,5" Here is my issue- after driving about 10-15 Mins I can smell a distinct "plastic smell" and when I remove the seat to inspect, the 2 wires that come off the F & R switch and go directly to motor are very hot. The switch is also fairly hot. Connections look good to me. Does this point to a bad F & R switch? Any help is appreciated! Thanks Cody |

Re: 88 ezgo marathon issue
Looks are deceiving.
Could be bad contacts in F/R. Could be a bad connection between ring terminal and F/R stud. Could be a bad connection between cable conductor and ring terminal. Could be all three. |

I believe l'll start by replacing the fr switch since it looks like the original that came on cart. Thank you for the advice!
