Re: 1997 ezgo switches from forward to reverse while riding
KGSC I know it really doesn't mean a lot but I replaced the microswitches first thinking that was the problem. Thanks for all the help each of you have given me but it looks like I will be giving ScottyB a call.

Re: 1997 ezgo switches from forward to reverse while riding
And I guess you have checked all the wires for breaks and the like. You may want to wait for a few more responses but it sure acts like controller issues. Stepping up to a 400 amp controller, new solenoid and some 4 gauge wires will wake up the cart however so won't be a real bad thing..

Re: 1997 ezgo switches from forward to reverse while riding
Yes I have checked everything I could think. Sad part is I just got it panted and put in a 4 in lift kit with new rims and tires. Then this happens but it had given me a warning 2 months ago when we were camping it happened then but I thought it was a fluke cause until 3 days ago I had no problems. Might as well bite the bullet and order a controller.

Re: 1997 ezgo switches from forward to reverse while riding
It could have been caused by the rev micro going bad and sending random voltage to the controller while under throttle. It wont like this.. It is good you changed those out. And I understand, it is always something. I currently have 5 carts so it is a constant battle

Re: 1997 ezgo switches from forward to reverse while riding
Since you installed a lift kit, I suspect the new tires are taller than stock (18").
If so, that is probably what took the controller out. For tires up to 22", a DCX400 will suffice. Taller than that, go with a DCX500 and turn it down to 400A until you can afford an aftermarket motor. |

Re: 1997 ezgo switches from forward to reverse while riding
Thanks for the help everyone. JohnnieB it messed up the first time 6 weeks before I got the lift kit but hey I appreciate all the help from the people on this forum. as isaid before I have had other problems before but was able to fix by just reading others posts. Thanks again will post later if the controller solves the problem.
