 Most of the time that stuff starts with a bad connection somewhere. Either the cable itself, loose connections or the F/R contacts....or internally in the motor. When you get it fixed make sure the F/R contacts are good. |

When you upgrade cables you should do the full set not just the one that got hot.

Re: Wire from directional switch to terminal S2 getting very hot!
I am working on a cart with the same problem. Initially burned the f/r swith b connection. Replaces the f/r switch with a beefed up model. Also rewired with number 4 wires.(complete). S2 terminal melted after about 12 miles of operation. Motor is a purple PlumQuick.
