Alltrax reverse half speed?

[Sideways]

I removed the reverse buzzer and the orange wire connecting to my Alltrax SR48400 controller during my rebuild which I now believe to be a mistake...
Will reprogramming the controller to less than 50% of reverse speed still work or do I need to hook everything back up?
Thanks again!

Reduced reverse is only active when there is battery pack positive to the J1 blue terminal. This can come from the F&R reverse micro switch

I have your SW182 reversing contactor, so I can run a wire from Bpack+ to the J1 terminal?

No that would activate the reduced reverse ALL the time. You want a battery positive that is only hot when the F&R is in reverse... basically run a wire from the F&R reverse side or the reverse side of the SW182 where the F&R reverse side wire goes to... This is shown on the instruction. Do you still have the install instruction?

It is important to note the reverse side of the switch is the opposite side as the R is on. Crazy but it's just the way the switch is built. Use your voltmeter to confirm which side is hot when the switch is in reverse... this wire goes to the SW185 and must now also go to the F1 blue for reduced reverse. I hope this helps
