03 48V Villager/DS IQ Club Car - No Reverse
Symptoms:
Forward - no issues Cables and connections all clean/solid Reverse buzzer comes on Solenoid clicks when rocker switch is in R and pedal is pressed Is there a reverse resistor on carts with the rocker style forward/reverse switch? I thought this was a controller issue, but popped the cover off of the controller and everything inside looks clean. I didn't separate the boards, so it's possible that I wasn't able to see the damage if it is a controller issue. |

Kinda sounds like a controller issue to me. If you put it in reverse and push it backwards while pressing the go pedal will it then move on its own?

The controller knows its in Rev as you are getting the Rev buzzer. Unless your F cable has burned up or lost its connection, you have most likely lost the FET in the controller for Reverse. You can swap the F1/F2 cables at the controller or motor as a test.

If it's an issue with the FET, would there always be visible/obvious discoloration? Everything that I could see inside the controller looked good. |

Re: 03 48V Villager/DS IQ Club Car - No Reverse
Thanks for confirming. Since the cart otherwise works perfectly, another member suggested wiring an additional 30A DPDT rocker switch to allow for reverse. Aside from losing the reverse buzzer, which really isn't a loss for me, are there any other concerns with going this route?

Not sure of his idea and I am not big on bypassing or shortcuts, so I can only speak for me. I would replace the controller. If I cannot afford it, I would have it repaired. Problem with repairing is you still have all the rest of the 15 yr old electronics in there.....
