Re: I hooked up main wires to batteries backwards, fried some wires, help???
I believe he's referring to the + wire to the ignition switch in the dash. Small current there thus the low amperage fuse. Yes, it's common (but not stock) to have the fuse (50 or 60 amp) at the charge receptacle, but less common (but not unheard of) to have a fuse on the BIG main + wire from the batteries to the solenoid

Re: I hooked up main wires to batteries backwards, fried some wires, help???
I have a 1999 EZGO TXT 36V and I made the same mistake. I put a new wiring harness on for lights and got confused on my wires. I put the main positive wire going from solenoid on the NEGATIVE post and the main neutral wire going from the controller to the positive wire. Then I pressed the gas for a second to test. No sparks or smoke but I noticed a bit of a burning smell.
Recognized my error and got wires corrected. I have replaced the solenoid and bypassed the reed switch (I had no power or response until then.) Now the cart beeps when I put it in reverse so I'm thinking the FNR is likely ok? But still no movement when I hit the gas. What else should I test? I saw a previous poster suggested a switch in the gas pedal? Any advice would be MUCH appreciated. I'm hoping I didn't fry the controller but I hate to keep throwing parts at this problem without actually knowing the problem. |

You would be better off starting a new thread but identifying the drive type will definitely help. Series or DCS? Where is the fnr handle and does it have a rod behind it or puck?
