Default H/D Forward/Reverse Switch or NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are all H/D F/R switches created equal. This one didn't last 9 months. I think I may need a Superduty F/R switch.

Went for a morning ride with the kids and it just stopped. I smelled a burning smell and opened my seat to inspect. It was pretty obvious. Had a buddy come and tow me back with his Club Car Carryall. We were about three miles from the house.

That could totally be why your cart was bucking and only going forward... since you obviously need a new F&R lets get this replaced first and then retest the controller operation. Is the cable end okay that was connected there?

And the answer to your question is no, all HD F&Rs are not created equal.

But in the switches defense...... are you certain that cable connection was tight?

The cart operated normally in forward. It bucked in reverse. If I swapped the cables at 3 and 9 position then it would buck going forward and operate properly in reverse.

I am certain the connection was tight. It was tight when I removed it.

I will ship my contoller to you regardless. I have two weeks that I will be at work so the cart won't be used anyway. I just want to be sure the contoller is operating properly.

I am convinced you do not need to send the control but if you want me to test it I will.

ScottyB, If you are convinced I will not send it. If it bucks still with the New and Improved ScottyB H/D F/R Switch in it then I guess I will send it. You are the pro not me. I trust you. After all You are the one that got me addicted. Send me a PM with the cost shipped to 70438 for the F/R switch.

Thanks,
David J.

If you manage to burn up Scotty's, the next step is to do a solenoid activated F&R lamo
