2006 electric EZGO runs only in reverse, help pls
I have a 2006 electric EZGO PDS, It was running fine with no problems but one day I was taking off and it only ran about 3 ft and it stopped, it runs in reverse but not forward, I hear the solenoid clicking both in reverse and forward, the controller it's a alltrax dcx400, in reverse the led flashes green and stays green, on forward once I press the pedal from green it flashes 5 times red, and it won't go, the online manual says that the code for the led blinking light it's for field open but I don't known what it means by that, I checked the connections and cleaned connections on batteries, motor, controller, all looks good and clean, can someone help me troubleshoot it please, thank you in advance

That sounds like a controller failure to me.

Re: 2006 electric EZGO runs only in reverse, help pls
Yes, typical for these controls to fail in forward direction first. Good news you can swap F1 and F2 at the control and run in Forward only until the new unit arrives. My neighbor did this for 6 months. LOL
Also note 2 things... The DCX control has been superseded by the XCT control. You should check out what people are saying about the new XCT control before ordering. Second, the 5 red flash error on the DCX can be caused by a short in the motor or the motor wires. The TXT was known for doing this by rubbing the wires bare at the corner of the battery box, see attached. If this situation occurs it will short out the DCX control. This needs to be checked and repaired if needed, see pic. |

Re: 2006 electric EZGO runs only in reverse, help pls
I concur.
The symptoms you describe indicate the MOSFETs in the controller that feed the motor's field windings in forward are blown. You might want to contact Alltrax. They may have some test you can do to be 100% sure, but I believe it is time to upgrade to a XCT controller. In the interim, you can swap the F1 & F2 cables at the controller (Push on connectors) and have a cart that goes forward only. ---------- I see that Scotty beat me with the XCT suggestion. |

Wire up a series style switch on the f1&f2 cables and good as new! Lol, just kidding!

Re: 2006 electric EZGO runs only in reverse, help pls
It depends on how tall your tires are, if you have a back seat or not and what kind of terrain, and some other factors, but if you were happy with the performance you got from a DCX400, you'll be more than happy with a XCT48400PDS.
