Ezgo 4 Caddy removed orange wire and now it's fast!!!

jpwiegand · 03-26-2010, 07:59 AM

I noticed my cart was faster in reverse than foward, so I read a few posts and one said to remove the small orange wire from my controller to my F/R switch. Well I did, and now my cart is FAST almost to fast.

Anyways, my question is; will this hurt anything on the cart or did i just remove some kind of regulator that no one is suppose to know about.

Welcome to BGW!

Please tell us about your cart so we can better help you. Is this a stock controller or aftermarket?

The only thing I know about it is that it is a 98 4 caddy stock. It does look like the controler has been replaced though. The only number on the controller is P194464. The only thing I did to make it faster is I removed the orange wire going from the controller to the F/R switch assembly. It was about a 16 gauge wire. My controller only has 4 small wires plugged into it. The orange wire is the only wire that goes to the F/R switch.

As of now I am scared to drive it because i'm worried it might hurt something. I let my wife take it for a spin and she noticed a huge differance in speed. It now goes the same speed in forward as in reverse, and I'm going twice as fast as my friends Yammaha.

If I find out its ok to run it like this I might need better brakes or a roll cage for my wife to let me take the kids out for a spin.

What's a 4 caddy?

How about some pics?

I think it is a 4 passenger? Sounds like it is an Ezgo?
(4 pin) = series controller?
Pics or name of controller manufacture ? And Model #?

With this orange wire off, the cart goes about 6-7 mph faster in forward
