EZ Go - TXT - Series -- 99 - Reverse only
I’m new here and new to carts. Picked up this 99 TXT series drive. Worked fine for months.
Recently both forward and reverse settings get reverse. I’ve made no recent changes to the cart. I took the switch out, it presses both micro switches when it’s in F and only one in R. I tested the micro switches and think they are ok, but I’m not sure how sensitive they are. I did get some reading on both with my multi meter I was thinking I could build a jumper, to bypass the micro switch, just to see but I worry I’d burn something up. Can anyone help me isolate the problem? And anyone confirm how / when the micro switches should be pressed or de-pressed (let out) when changing form F to R? if I replace parts, I just assume beef it up as I go. Tried searching, but all I could see was when one lost forward or reverse. If I only had forward, I could least use it, lol. Thanks. |

Re: EZ Go - TXT - Series -- 99 - Reverse only
Try swapping the leads to the motor, it should then go forward.

Guess mine is a dcs.
My FR switch is the round cast. (Can’t post pictures) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: EZ Go - TXT - Series -- 99 - Reverse only
Do I understand the F setting closes both F and R micro switch?
The R setting only closes one micro switch? If that is the case, I just assume the non R micro switch is bad. Or is that backwards? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: EZ Go - TXT - Series -- 99 - Reverse only
DCS and PDS controllers have 2 controllers in one, 1 forward speed and 1 reverse speed, The early Curtis failed in forward first since it was used so much more than reverse.... to verify this has happened to this controller simply swap the F1 and F2 wires (10g black and white) at the speed controller. Now it should have forward only - no reverse.
It can be run this way for a long time while you decide what you want to do about a replacement. |

Re: EZ Go - TXT - Series -- 99 - Reverse only
Switched polarity. Now it works fine. R = forward F = Reverse.
I’m sure you guys are correct and the controller is on its last leg. What are my options when it goes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: EZ Go - TXT - Series -- 99 - Reverse only
Just a little clarification. For a series TXT cart - the F&R has 2 micro switches. The drivers side microswitch (ms) is triggered in both directions and the passenger side is triggered in reverse only. Check the driver side switch is working properly in both directions.

Disconnect the reverse micro and see if you get forward back. I’m guessing it is stuck.
