Default RXVe no Reverse but Forward while in Neutral

Have a 2009 EZGO RXVe that has been giving me trouble for about a year now. It would not go forward or reverse. I pulled a code 25106, " Reverse alarm test failed". The buzzer made an audible tone but pitch was slightly off. After testing all appropriate circuits I replaced the buzzer and it worked. Now I have the same code, buzzer seems to be working but cart will not move in Reverse. It moves forward while in Forward and it moves forward while in Neutral. Also, Tow does not release the brake. I have replaced the motor brake about 2 months ago and the 4 batteries about a week ago. i am leaning toward a controller issue because of the forward in Neutral thing but I am unsure of any tests I can perform to verify a failed controller. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds like corrosion in the wire harness to me. Been seeing it more and more.

Any particular places I might find the wiring harness corroded? The cart is stored in a shaded damp area between two building so corrosion would not be surprising. Thanks

I just finished continuity testing all the wires that go from controller to sensors and motor. Everything tests good. I also took a look at the controller. No visual damage there. This is a tough one.

Did you use an RXV reverse buzzer? May seem silly but if the current/resistance is different from OEM buzzer, it may fail test even though it works.

Might be KEYSWITCH.

Controllers on RXV's are near bulletproof if you dont *^&%$ arround with wire harness and try to add accessories to the factory harness (Like wires to keyswitch).

Again --- I do not suspect controller problems with RXV's EVER.

In last 3 years , i have replaced 1 RXV controller -- Customer attempted to wire
battery meter to keyswitch.

I did use an EZGO buzzer. I tested switch and it must have some kind of integrated circuitry because its got some pretty high resistances but it tested good in comparison to a new switch. Cart responded the same with new switch. I.E. Forward while in Neutral, no Reverse. I called an EZGO distributor here and found out that they no longer carry the Danaher controller. They offer a Curtis conversion for a whopping $1361! I think this cart may go to the scrape yard. From the same vendor I can get a used EZGO RXV gasoline for $1800.

wirer harness is cheaper than controller.

Got a good service company nearby?

They could narrow it down for a reasonable fee...

probably 2 or three hrs max.
