99 DS series F/R switch install problems
I went to install a HD F/R switch in 99CCDS. The switch looked identical to the one I took out (BU#5774). I got everything hooked up identical schematically to the OG switch and when I went to re-connect the batteries I was getting serious sparks on the negative hookup (positive hooked up first). I then re installed the OG F/R switch and was able to get it all back together. Wondering what is causing the sparking? Also wondering in the new F/R switch can fix the problem of reverse not working.
Background: The reverse hasnt worked for a while. This is the 3rd piece of an upgrade I am doing. Step 1, I installed a D&D Club Car Motor: 19 mph + 10% Torque (Part # 170-002-0002). BUT, I did not get more torque, in fact it wouldnt move when you hit the pedal unless it was flat or downhill, I would rate it as 0 torque. Step 2, I decide to install a new P125M-5603 500A 36V/48V DC Motor Controller. After controller hooked up, everything was fine, but F/R wires seemed hot, and the reverse still wasnt working, so I decided to install the F/R switch and that lead me to here.... |

Did reverse work before you installed the new motor?

Sorry for the delayed response, the reverse switch stopped working before the new motor went in. It actually stopped working after I had pressure washed the cart. If I remember correctly it started working again at one point, but definitely never worked with new motor.

Sorry for the delayed response. The first ride I took with the new motor and contoller the wires in the vicinity of the F/R switch felt warm when I stopped. I assumed this just proved i needed to beef up the F/R switch.
