Lost wire

[scobar]

I was given a 1996 48 volt (6 @ 8v Trogen) cart. The batteries need replacing but it's not too bad overall. When I picked it it did move, Ok forward, slow in reverse. I took it home and had to push it off the trailer, been dead since. What I did find was a red wire with a white strip hanging loose at one end. the wire starts at (connected) the forward / reverse lever. It is on the top center of the 3 micro switches, from there it goes to the back near the motor and the 4" x 6" x 2" (approx) box that's mounted back there to. This is where the red/wht wire is hanging loose. It has a lug connector not a spade type. I don't want to hook it up wrong and cook something else.....any help with this lost wire.

I did pull out the wiring diagram here but I can't blow it up enough to read it.

Try downloading the diagram to your computer then blowing it up. It looks like the red/white wire goes to the controller B- connection. this would provide Neg current to micro to switch the solenoid or such? I didn't study it any more than I needed to answer the orig Question..... download and print

Scottyb, thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the wiring diagram from the "sticky" here and cannot read it when I blow it up.

The controller is the box above the motor, correct? and can you label or describe which connector is the B connection. I did not pull the controller out to see if the connection points are labeled.

Send pictures of cut wires ...etc. parts you have ?'s about, that always helps

Yes pictures would help!!! Are your terminals not marked? Look closer
