Default Re: Removed & cleaned batteries, now won't go?

Thanks. The thing that throws me is the fact that when I hooked everyting back up and turned it on, it worked in reverse. When I tried to change to forward it wouuld not go. It acted like it does when you try to change directions wihout taking your foot off the pedal. I learned a while back that you have to completely take your foor off the petal when changing to forward or it stops. I don't know what that mechanism is, but could that be what is failing now? If "SONICJ" is right, would that cause my charger not to work? It "came on" which tells me it knew that it needed charging and there was enough charge there for it to work, but it didn't register any amps.
Once before, my batteries were so low that the charger would not come on. I had to "charge" each battery separately for a few minutes with a 12v car charger to get it to start.
I don't have headlights or anything now. It acts as though it has completely run down now. Now I measure zero when I test the charge across all bateries. It must have discharged itself overnight. Sounds like a short or big drain somewhere.

if everything was working proper before you did the battery swap my money is on something you did and your missing it..............been there and done that................you need to go over everything nice and slow and go over it again......it only takes 1 wire or cable to mess everything up........unless there was something wrong before hand your gonna find it just be patience sit and look at it look at every wire and cable...............in the stickies theres are basic diagrams that should help you at least make certain batteries are all correct......in the stickies its the last one down itsays C.C. elec. wiring diagrams theres a 95 to 03 diagram batteries will be wired just like yours.........................................

does look like my situation and shows that there is no wire directly from the receptacle to #6 Neg post, as I stated already. Could the Forward/Reverse switch be the culprit?

hmm, not sure why unreadable diagrams are in the sticky.... here's one that doesn't suck. (97 ds 48v but should be relevant)

measure the voltage of each battery. are they in fact dead? if you had 0 amps on the charge meter yesterday and today the battery pack is totally dead, something is backwards or shorted..

Did you check the fuse in the Sense Lead (gray wire from charger receptacle to OBC)??

Now I read 8v across each battery and 48v across all!
I tried the OBC reset proceedure, but nothing happened. The F/R buzzer did not buzz. When I put the Neg cable back on, nothing happens. I connected the charger again, but it does not come on. When I turn on the switch, I get no reading on my charge meter, and no headlights.
