2001 ezgo txt works fine in forward but not reverse. Please help!
I have a 2001 Ezgo TXT series with Alltrax 48400 controller and SW180 solenoid and HD f&r switch. The cart works fine in forward. When I shift into reverse I get nothing. No solenoid click, controller does not turn on. I have done a ton of testing with the DVM and can not trace the problem. Curious if anyone has had this problem. Need some help with this one. Thanks

The cam in the F/R switch is not rotating far enough for MS-2's roller to drop into the detent and activate the solenoid and turn on controller. (The voltage that activates solenoid also turn on controller).
The F/R switch's mounting holes are oblong, so move it left or right until solenoid clicks in both F and R. |

Thanks johnnie! I was actually able to get it to work last night by switching around the micro switches on the f&r switch. Finally!

Re: 2001 ezgo txt works fine in forward but not reverse. Please help!
Need some more help on this thread. After I was able to get reverse to work the cart was running fine in forward and reverse. Now I have zero reverse. I still get power to the controller and I get the correct sequence of green lights on the Alltrax controller as well. The solenoid is also activating. Forward works fine. Reverse just stopped working randomly, the cart does not even try to move when in reverse. I can not figure out why I can not get it to move. I have checked wiring and nothing has changed since the cart was working perfectly. Solenoid and controller get full voltage when the pedal is down. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks

I it runs in forward and the solenoid clicks in reverse as well as the controller powering up, the problem is the high current contacts in the F/R switch assembly are not making good contact when reverse is selected.
You might try tightening the nut on the shaft (highlighted in attached drawing), but you probably need a new F/R switch assembly. |

HEAT...Replace dozens of these with only heat damage to one terminal Usually the bottom one. Possibly due to the 4 motor cables not being replace with at least 4ga.
Consider if you must buy a replacement the heavy duty reversing contactors sold by our Site Sponsor Carts Unlimited is a more reliable option |

So look at the F&R switch studs and contacts for any discoloration. |
