Reversing Contactor SW-202 - Where does orange wire go?

[Dela]

Trying to track issues - rewiring in desperation.

On Scotty's diagram there is no mention of orange wire - anyone know where it goes?

Orange wire is the "half speed reverse" wire to let the controller know it's in reverse. It goes to the reverse solenoid small positive terminal. It used to go on the "reverse microswitch" on the old f&r.

I believe what you are referring to is listed as a partial typical diagram - The orange wire gets full pack positive when in reverse. This can be had at the F&R rocker or the + side of the reversing contactor (small) activation terminal

Thanks man - figured it out - cart ran fine after rewire.. for 5 minutes, then crapped the bed again..

Have another thread running on intermittent failure so will leave it at that.
