Default 98 DCS no reverse

I am trying to work on a 98 EZGO DCS for a family member that will not move in reverse. Forward works fine and the back up buzzer works in reverse, but wont move. Where should I start?

Not in a DCS cart.... although it is a good idea to check the Reverse micro switch. If it has continuity check the solenoid activation circuit.
You should get 36v across the 2 small terminals when you try to go... if not which is missing + or - ?

Thanks Scottyb, the micro switch has continuity I will check the solenoid. Is there a reverse diode on the DCS anywhere?

Does the solenoid make an audible click when you try to go?
If no, maybe a bad activation circuit?

Unless you have an early type F/R switch, like the one pictured, there won't be a "Reverse" diode.

The most common DCS schematic post around here is for an early cart.

Attached is one for a later DCS.

The reverse micro switch is the one toward the passenger side of the cart. This is usually the problem when it won't go in reverse. The other one works in both directions. If the solenoid works in forward it should work in reverse.

On a 98 DCS the F/R switch is nothing but a bell looking thing with two micro switches on it

Here is exploded view of F/R switch used on later year DCS carts.
The reverse microswitch is Item# 6

If the drivers side F&R micro works in both F&R then it is the solenoid activation ms just like in the later years when the driver side ms on the rotary switch did all the solenoid activation and the reverse ms added the beeper and 1/2 speed activation. Thanks Barry



By the way I still have some old new stock DCS micro switches I would love to sell if anybody is in need of them.
