Ezgo PDS will not back up

lanelson · 01-17-2017, 11:33 AM

I have replaced the selonoid and checked the wiring, per the instructions.
What else needs to be checked? thanks for your input.

How about checking the rocker switch.

Does the solenoid click in both F & R when you try to go?

Do you have a back up buzzer? is it working? Could be the reed switch. We will need some more information before we move forward.

Could not be the reed switch - we are already moving forward.

I need to tell my guy to open the garage door, too much exhaust in the shop, you're right, DOH, I know that. Heck, I still remember the vehicle I learned about the reed switch on years ago. Boy did that thing drive me nuts.

yes , i have a backup buzzer. ezgo will go forward fine. it will fail in reverse after a few seconds. i have not checked the rocker switch( i assume the f/r switch). i will try this.

Does the reverse beeper continue sounding when cart stops moving in reverse?
If so, the F/R switch is good and your controller is bad.

There is an ever so slight possibility the motor is having some issues spinning in the reverse direction, so swap the F1 & F1 cables at the controller. --- The cart should now run backwards, but fail going forward.

If the controller is bad, it would be a good time to upgrade to an Alltrax XCT48400PDS of larger.

Good results, thanks for all your input. i put the cart in diagostic mode and i got a 1-4 code. this alluded to pedal travel. it asked me to check the ITS and the micro switch.
i checked the gap on the ITS and it was 9/32 and it should be 7/32. i made the change and put all back together and tried it several times and every thing is working fine.
thank you again and this is a good forum and very helpful
