Series txt will go in forward but not reverse
This is my first time posting on here and I read the forums all the time. Last week while driving all of a sudden when I fully depressed the pedal the lights would dim and it would only go half as fast as normal. I tightened a loose cable on controller side of the main solenoid and that issue was resolved; however, now it will not go in reverse, but it drives great in forward with no issues. The resistor on the main solenoid is always hot, even if it is in neutral and sitting charging. On the battery side of the main solenoid, I am reading 52 volts, but the controller side of the main solenoid I am reading 32 volts and with the resistor removed I am still reading 3 volts on the controller side of the main solenoid. All post on the reverse contactors are also reading 32 volts. I’m hoping the controller is not bad but am trying to figure out if it could be anything other than the controller. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Series txt will go in forward but not reverse
Concentrate on the reversing contactor. Step one
Test and verify full battery current is present when measured between the small + and - terminals on the contactor coils when the pedal is depressed on the appropriate side in both forward and reverse. |

Thank you very much for the quick response scottyb! As soon as I get off work I will test the reversing contactors and post the results.

Re: Series txt will go in forward but not reverse
Last night I tested the small terminals on the reverse contractors. On the forward side I got 48.8 volts, and on the reverse side I got 48.6 volts.
