Rewiring an old Marathon with resistor coils...Help

[Rhester]

I have an old Marathon that was rewired with all new electrical parts last year. The owner brought the cart to Texas to use as a hunting cart. While using the cart I noticed that the F-N-R switch never stopped in place for reverse. You had to move it back and forth to get it in the correct position. Recently it shorted out while my son was driving it. When I started trying to diagnose the problem, I found that the bar to stop the F-N-R switch in place was bent, apparently intentionally, out of place. I found that the short was on the copper pads of the aftermarket, not OEM, F-N-R switch. I got both sides of the F-N-R switch, put the micro switches back on and ran into more problems...... It would only go in reverse. Then shorted out the drivers side micro switch when I put it into forward. I searched for the wiring diagrams on the site. Here is the setup that is in the cart: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...g-manuals.html

The problems are that I have a 4 prong key switch, the wiring for the solenoid is not clear to me, and the micro switch wiring does not match up. Can someone give me more information to make sure I iget the micro switches, solenoid and key switch wired correctly?

The micro switches come wired together on the bottom of the switches from the dealer. The diagram shows that the switches are wired together at the top. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I had problems with this diagram when I was doing my cart. I had smoke and flame. Use this one http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...-diagrams.html Post #2.

Post 2 diagram was the way my 1988 Marathon needed to be wired. Hope this helps
