Default pds won't move in reverse

Newbie here, I have a 2005(I think) E Z Go pds that will not move in reverse. Dash mounted F R switch checks ok. I can jump the reverse wires together, bypassing the switch, still no reverse. Continuity from switch wires to connector at controller is ok, no broken wires. Do I need a new controller? Thanks for any help.

Yes, this is how the PDS controller often fails.
You have already confirmed the Toggle switch is good, yes? I use a meter and test the switch for continuity from the center out both ways. Scotty

Yes, switch checks out ok with continuity tester. Also jumped reverse wires together, eliminating switch entirely, still no reverse. Just don't want to be a parts changer with such an expensive part as the controller. Thanks for your help.

Could he simply wire in a series style FNR? I know nothing about sepex motors.

Thanks Scotty, if I do replace the controller, how about a rebuilt one? Are they reliable?
