Default Re: no forward

Year, voltage, drive type - series, DCS, PDS, AC... - actual voltage of each battery and pack 12 hours after completion of charge,......

Has it done this since you bought it or is it a new symptom, did you do anything to it just before this started....

Which cable gets hot? Does it make a grinding sound, or just shake. You mentioned it has trouble under load. Is this in Reverse, since you said it doesn't go in forward?

94, series, 36v, 6 12v batteries. I recently change the f/r switch but it worked fine for a few weeks. I pushed it pretty hard in the snow and it just stopped. Top cable going from switch to motor gets hot. Just barely shakes, no grinding. Solenoid clicks. Reverse works like a champ.

You may have burned up the forward contacts in the F&R switch. To check if this is so swap the 2 cables in the 9 oclock and 3 oclock position on the back of the F&R. After doing that if the forward operation is fine and reverse is not then the F&R needs to be replaced.

If it runs fine with the cables swap. Then move them back to where they should be. And tighten the nut in the middle on the F/R switch and see if it still works. And i don't think you have 6 - 12 volt batteries ??

U are correct. 6 6v batteries. It is now working fine. Thx for the help. Why do I need to tighten the middle nut if I didn't loosen it?

Just a little. 1/4 turn to re-tension the rotating contacts... and start saving for a new switch down the road.
