controller cover
I just upgraded my 06 cc ds controller to a 500amp. Alltrax. The cover will not fit the new one. I was driving it today in a light rain and something got wet. The reverse buzzer started buzzing so, I stopped and put it in neutral then reverse and back in forward! It still buzzed constantly, I then put it in tow, it quit! I waited for a few minutes, put it in run forward it seemed fine! Do you think the controller got wet and caused this or something else? It hasn't happened to me before!

Re: controller cover
I haven't done an awful lot of work on SepEx carts, but I do know that their controllers like to crap themselves if they even smell water.

Re: controller cover
Well I don't think that the f/r switch got wet or if the controller would do that. I just wandered if anyone has had this happen. I may try to make some kind of cover!

Re: controller cover
On my Precedents, the reverse buzzer going off when not in reverse means the Forward/Reverse switch got wet. I'm running a 500 amp Alltrax as well. It happens a lot when I power wash the carts. I take a leaf blower and blow it out good or let it sit and dry out.

Re: controller cover
Pressure washing electric carts is not recommended because the spay force sends water where it shouldn't be. If you are unlucky components can be damaged.

Re: controller cover
Moisture will drive any electronics/switches etc. not weather tight, crazy. These carts aren't weather tight, high humidity can cause the same issues, more so on older carts.
