Re: 98 EZGO No Reverse
BRO - The F/R switch is where the micro's are. Don't take this the wrong way, but if you don't know what an F/R is, then STOP working on your cart and get it to someone / somewhere with some experience. The DCS electronics are expensive, pay an hours labor charge at a good repair shop and have them check your cart ASAP, it may just save you a ton of cash.
If your reverse buzzer is going off all the time, then your controller might just be trying to tell you something!!! If the cart 'beeps', then your controller is getting a false reading that it's rolling down a hill, or 'free wheeling'. The DCS is a strange beast - you really need to seek some hands on, experienced help, from someone who can physically be there with your cart... By the way - WELCOME to the forum!!! |

Re: 98 EZGO No Reverse
I am a golf cart mechanic and a betting man and my money is on a bad controller. You can pick up refurbished ones for around $300 give or take. Make sure you get the one with the same number of pins that you have. Off the top of my head i think there is a 5 pin and a 9 pin controlle for the DCS. Make sure you diconect the batteries before switching them out because you could fry some stuff other wise.

Re: 98 EZGO No Reverse
9 pin is a DCS - 5 pin is a series (which won't work). Rebuilt controllers are just that - rebuilt. Not everything in them is new, just what originally burned. We always replace with a new AllTrax - never rebuilt...

Re: 98 EZGO No Reverse
It is true that not eveything on a rebuilt controller is new, but I rarely have problems with them. Most of the time people just want to fix there cart spending the least amount of money.

Re: 98 EZGO No Reverse
For a few bucks more, you can get a new AllTrax, over the price of rebuilt. Remember, the DCS was replaced in 2000. Stock controllers are no newer than 2000 year technology. Anyone still using an 8 year old computer or cell phone?
My 2 cents... |

EXTREMELY sound advice.... The cheapest way out is just that. It's always cheaper for me to tell the mechanic I don't need a new serpentine belt, or I don't need that oil change at 3 months etc...etc..etc.. but what does that do to me in the long run. The original controller lived a long and happy life, replace it with new, and you will probably see another long lived controller. |

Re: 98 EZGO No Reverse
snr8715 Did you ever find out what was wrong with your Golf Cart and the no reverse issue. I am having the same exact problem with my 99 ez go. I checked the switches and the switches appear to be good. It is exactly like you stated with yours with the cam. When i put it in Forward it goes forward. When I put it in Neutral it is in Neutral. When I put it in Reverse it still goes forward. Thanks for any help that can be supplied.
