Re: Slow 48V DS
so that will cause the so called "half speed" issue
and you are recommending a replacement for all 3? can you recommend a supplier...will a Napa or Advance Auto have that? |

Re: Slow 48V DS
As CCFanatic pointed out, they all look in rough shape.
Yes, if the 3rd microswitch does not "open", You will always be at half-speed. Just disconnect one of the wires and You will know for sure. The only side effect is that You will have full speed in reverse as well, no big deal. The site sponsors carry those switches. Edit: here is an example from a site sponsor |

Re: Slow 48V DS
that "3rd" switch is that the one closest to the front of the cart or the rear

Re: Slow 48V DS
The one with the White Wire on the top, closest to the rear of the cart.

Re: Slow 48V DS
Did the broken wire come off of the second or third MS?

Re: Slow 48V DS
broken wire is off the middle, 2nd, switch...orange wire
is there a local parts house that yall know of that would have this switch because all of the local golf cart places around me are telling me that they cant get them and i have to buy the entire F&R assembly, blah blah blah. i find that hard to believe. |

------------------- FWIW, the middle MS is for the reverse buzzer, since the tab is broken off, I suspect that doesn't work as well ------------------- Another FWIW, in the picture you posted of your F-R switch, it appears that there is not a Club Car logo in the upper right hand corner, indicating that it is an aftermarket switch. I had an aftermarket switch on my 99 DS and the issue was that the rotating cam was not as high as the OEM one and since it was lower, the outer two MSs were not engaging and I did not have a reverse buzzer nor half-speed reverse. I had to add a few pieces of double-sided tape to the top of the cam so when in reverse, it would engage the outer two MSs. Just some food for thought ------------------- I just went and looked on my 95 DS and on my F-R, the black wire is on top and the white is on the bottom. Before you buy a new switch, try switching the wires and see what happens. I suspect when the F-R switch was changed, the wires were switch accidentally |

Re: Slow 48V DS
Ok, you guys better hold on to your pants, because we are about to go wild . According to the wiring diagram for a 95 DS, the outer two MSs on the F-R should have three wires connected to them, each. On the middle one, one of the wires is not used. The third MSs, though, should have all three wires going somewhere. Now, go look on your controller on the 2nd small terminal. I'm going to be willing to bet that there is no wire connected there. This is how my 95 DS is setup, and it works. I'm going off of the wiring diagram on this site and off of my 95 DS itself. The IPL for your cart shows that there should only be two wires per MS, so I may be wrong, but I don't think so, considering how mine is setup

Re: Slow 48V DS
im beginning to think that the F&R switch that is on my cart is no the original equipment...i talked to a dealer today and he was saying that my cart should only have 2 micro switches instead of 3.
if i had hair i would pull it out. |

Re: Slow 48V DS
No, you should have three. Try reversing the two wires and see if the problem still exists
