Default what are these MCDR, microswitch

Hi guys,
Here is a short list of what I am doing:'
1996 series ezgo
48 volt conversion
650 amp controller
4x4 kit from imaginative mfg
changing fnr manual switch to toggle switch

My question is I am looking at a solenoid f&r wiring diagram and I am seeing two items that I do not know what they are - microswitch and MCDR or Patentiometer. I believe the microswitch comes on the stock car, but I am not 100% sure what i looks like or where to find it. I have no clue about the MCDR. Do any of these need to be upgraded or is stock ok. Thanks for your help.

I will post pictures as soon as I have time and can figure out how

It's not M-C-D-R, it M-C-O-R. It's a Club Car throttle position sender. On an EZ-Go it's called an ITS.

Your EZ-Go Series cart has an ITS (Inductive Throttle Sensor) located in a small box under the floor mat. The accelerator microswitch is also in this box. The ITS and the micro are part of the controller control circuit.

Hi scotty,

Thanks for the help. I have 4 low voltage leads on my controller in lieu of the 3 that you are showing. The wiring diagram I have for the controller shows leads 2 and 3 going to the ITS. Lead 1 is a red wire coming off of MS3 throttle and lead 4 is orange and comes off of MS4 reverse. Hopefully this will be self explanatory after I open it up. Thanks again for all of your help thru this process.

The orange lead is half power reverse, I don't like it on an offroad cart. I fold it back on itself and shrink wrap it
