Reverse frequently fails.

jharpj · 12-01-2009, 12:40 PM

I have an electric EZGO with the F&R switch behind the operator's legs.
Frequently reverse will not work but giving the F&R switch a shot of WD40 will fix it for a day or two.
Should I just replace all the parts here or can it be cleaned? Cleaned with what?

Should I be replacing all of the wires between the batteries and the switch as a routine maintenance procedure?

Thank you in advance.
Jim

I would replace the contacts in the FNR switch, they are about $3 apiece.

It all depends if the board has been damaged. Rebuilt eventually fry again.

Good point Mike.

It's the board that your FNR contacts are located on, like this:

These are the contacts:

I would put a new F&R in it and be good to go for a long while

That's what I would suggest, too

What year is your cart just because the the lever is between your legs doesn't mean it is a series cart and that it has contacts. It could also be a DCS cart which was made from 94-99 I believe and it just has microswitches on the lever between your legs.

He is spraying the F&R with WD40 and getting results . ......... it doesn't sound like anything but a series F&R ?????
