They will test it first to see if it's able to be rebuilt ($37). It's worth the free phone call. Just my $.02. Good luck. I have the same cart as you do. There are a lot of parts for them you just have to look around.

Don't get me wrong here..... I like FSIP a lot but...... I have had 2 recent controllers that they "rebuilt" both fail right out of the box..... 1 for a Tomberlin and 1 for a John Deere. The only reason I went with rebuilt on either of these was that they were both GE controllers and they are both very hard to find. In both cases, I have had to send the rebuilt controllers back and get replacements for them. Both are still dead in the water awaiting the replacements.......

Thanks for the info. Not trying to steer anyone in the wrong direction, just giving information that I have found being a "newbie" to cart life. I guess we'll see what happens when I get everything put back together.

I'm less enthusiastic about so called rebuilt controllers because as a dealer who asked for a list of new parts I could find in every 'rebuilt' controller I got "uhm..." or "Ah..." or "well,...it depends upon what they need".
I called a small engine repair shop and they sent me a list of new parts they put in a rebuilt motor. It was sounding more and more like the controls were repaired not rebuilt, which would explain the high failure rate.

Rebuilt sounds good but I think it's misleading if you don't have a parts list.
After-all, who's going to buy a repaired control with a majority of 15 yr old components?

apparently lots of people, lots of those will soon be looking for a new one.....
i, as well have seen nothing but trouble with "rebuilt" ones, and i also wont offer them to customers.
