Exclamation 2007 G29 YDREE does nothing

It just stopped working one day so I assumed batteries were bad because we didn't take care of them properly through the winter. I took batteries to O'Reilly's who confirmed they were bad.
So I replaced them with new ones. STILL NOTHING.
No click, no reverse beeping, no sound or stopping when I try and push it by hand.
I ordered new solenoid and checked 3A fuse, hoping that would do the trick but still nothing happened.
I have a 3" lift, bigger tires, and haul 2 adults and 3 small children. After reading several threads, I'm assuming my controller and/or motor is out.
Is there anything I can do before ordering these expensive parts?

Bad batteries are hard on the controller. My bet is that your controller has failed.

Thanks for the response!

Is there a controller you would recommend? Should I upgrade to more amps or put the original 290Amp back in it?

If I upgrade controller to say 400A, would i need to upgrade solenoid and cables also?

Yea
If replacing a bad controller,
A little extra $$ for 400 amp is good
Gives Room to upgrade , & not always working at max
Cables to at least # 4 awg welding cable,
Can wait till the solenoid fails to replace, may last years

I went ahead and ordered the 500A XCT from ScottyB's with a 400A Solenoid and 2g cables. He lowered the output for me since i'll still be using the stock motor. Any guesses on how long before I will have to upgrade motor?

I can't wait for it to come in and try it out! I'll keep you updated.

My stock motor did not last long at all running with 400 amps with the same controller you are getting. Monitor it closely for overheating.
