Cart driving me nuts!

That’s the reason I’m on this forum.

I am not a professional but I would speculate the voltage on the motor terminal at rest is normal. The controller actually furnishes controlled M- , a form of controlled B- to the other terminal "A" when the pedal is pressed and everything else is in proper working order. Try cgtech suggestion post 6.

You can eliminate the f&r from the list by trying the following.


Label your wires and terminals with A, B, C, D, so every can be put back how it started.

Look at the f&r cam when in forward gear direction, note which sets of board contacts are connected by the cam connector links. Take one of the 2 wires off the f&r board that are linked together and put them together on the same terminal, do the same for the other side.

Be careful, this will disable the f&r switch direction control for this test.

If driving the cart under the conditions that would have caused failure no longer cause failure, f&r is the problem.

Tried this test. Put the shifter in forward gear, and matched the cables on the f&r panel to the picture you drew. Pressed pedal and it slowly (1mph) went in reverse.

I had a similar problem and come to find out it was the post on the motor where the positive cable ran. The nut that locked the post from the inside had come loose and was loosing contact, when warm caused the cart to attempt to go but not.
