RXV won’t go in forward or reverse..sometimes?
I recently purchased a 2015 RXV. The first 2 times I took it out I had no problems but now it often won’t go in forward or reverse. I take the key out and try to get it to reset and sometimes it works quicker than others to get going again. Sometimes it works the first try, other times it takes 5-10 or so attempts.
I’ve searched and some people said something about the motor brake or solenoid, then something else said it could possibly be the controller. It’s not the batteries, they are good and hold charge. I actually hooked up the new batteries i have in my other cart just to double check. I plan on purchasing the Navitas but would like to solve this problem before upgrading other things. Any input is appreciated. Thanks |

Next time it it fails. Turn the key off, pull up on the pedals with the toes of your shoes, turn key on.

Do you happen to have factory installed lights? (Any aftermarket lights dont count in this situation)
If you do have factory lights, check to see if the brake lights come on by themselves when the cart messes up. |

Re: RXV won’t go in forward or reverse..sometimes?
No factory lights either. Are you thinking possibly the motor brake? I’m about to buy one just to see if that’s the problem. From what I’ve read they are prone to go bad on RXV so if that’s not the problem I guess I’ll atleast have a new one lol. I’ve read solenoid problem as well. If I get the Navitas I’ll need a 400a solenoid. I’m lost on what else to try/check. I’d hate to spend $1200 in upgrades and have the cart still do what it’s doing.
Thanks for the input so far👍 |

Re: RXV won’t go in forward or reverse..sometimes?
I was thinking motor brake, and if your cart had factory lights, the controller would conveniently turn on the brake lights in the event of a brake test fail. 2015 is not in the year range for bad solenoid failures, that was very early ones, all before 2012. Yours has a much much better solenoid than the early bad one.

Re: RXV won’t go in forward or reverse..sometimes?
may not be it but I have a 2015 RXV with an aftermarket light kit and if the lights are in the on position before the key is turned on it will not go and i have to turn the key and lights off then turn key on again and it will go. Also sometimes if i try and turn lights on right after the key before pressing the gas pedal it wont move so i usually wait a second after moving and turn them on.
