Default Forward/Reverse, drives forward then jumps in reverse

I have a 99 ezgo that suddenly switches to reverse while driving. Then reverse is all I have no matter where the selector is.

DCS or PDS ?

I'm not a fan of "rebuilt" controls. They are actually repaired not rebuilt

A DCS controller defaults to Forward and has to be told to go into reverse, so there is the possibility an intermittent short in the wiring is putting pack voltage on Pin-4 (orange wire) while the cart is traveling forward, but the problem is more likely to be a bad controller.

The stock DCS controller (Curtis 1206SX) is a failed design. If the controller is bad, replace it with an Alltrax DCX or XCT

I pulled a controller out of a running cart and put it in mine and the same thing happens, all forward and no reverse. Even when I unplug reverse it still goes forward when selector is in reverse.
