If it goes forward when you swap them it sounds like FNR switch is bad.

Is reverse wired to 3 batteries?

Definitely sounds like the F/R. You can pull it and disassemble it to verify.

That is odd. None of the contacts looked as if it were sunken in a bit?

I'm assuming this is a resistor cart, is this correct? Or has it been converted to solid state controller?

Please note I have had this before. The switch would test correctly, but would fail to correctly operate in the cart. I found it by getting the failure, and them checking the switch with my meter at the very same time. It failed, but when I wiggled the switch enough it would intermittently make a connection.

Solenoid "chatter" is a classic symptom of low voltage on resistor carts since they lack the HPD safety of modern carts.

Unfortunately you got everybody off track by claiming new batteries.

But that claim may also indicate poor troubleshooting by the BU tech by not digging further into the cause, specially since the issue was in forward only.

If the bad battery was the #1 battery or pack positive, there is a good chance that you have the charger wires connected incorrectly and you are not charging the first battery.
