Re: All New Setup .... only moves in one direction
Thank you Sergio, apparently you and I were both going through this at the same time. Kind of a waste of somebody's resources.

Re: All New Setup .... only moves in one direction
I was trying to bring closure and document your issue for future members.
Installing the diode backwards is the #1 mistake, but since You said the Contactor was "clicking" in both directions, that would have eliminated that possibility. As it turned out the cables were all in the correct location so the contactor could not have been "clicking" or it would have worked. I am glad You got it working, but make sure there is a working diode in each of the coils as they do serve a purpose which is to prevent premature failure of the device switching the contactor on/off. |

I still remember my very first post years and years ago on another forum. And the answer. And the feeling I felt after. I almost never posted again. Glad I decided to keep going. |

Re: All New Setup .... only moves in one direction
Finally got everything working on the cart!!!
Not sure what exactly the issue was. It was all wired correctly and diodes were in there correctly. Maybe it was a loose wire on the reversing contactor? I did manage to get some pictures of the diode wiring and attached them. I also removed all wires and squeezed the female spade connectors some to ensure they were making a good connection. You can see one in the picture that was not fully pressed in, i had to tighten them up and make sure all were pressed in firmly. The connectors on the side of the relays wiggle a bit and it made me nervous pressing as hard as i needed to but it is working great now. i'm also including the picture of the top of the relays with the wire connection info in case that helps someone else. Love the power and speed this thing has now. No lift and stock tires and it runs 21mph on flat ground at 36 volts Have everything i need now for 48 volt conversion also |

Re: All New Setup .... only moves in one direction
Great details. (And just a note, but I have found that the fully insulated spade connectors work a little better and provide protection from accidental arcing if something was to come into contact with them. )

I plan on redoing the wires soon when i add the additional batteries to convert to 48 volt. I also need to clean up the install and split loom everything. I think i need to add a 1/2 speed reverse also, it will chip the tires if I floor it in reverse |
