Default Re: EZGO DCS txt won't go forward

The DCS controller defaults to forward and has to be told to do reverse.

The hockey puck F/R assembly has two microswitchs whose levers are pressed by protrusions on the circumference of the cam (hockey puck). One switch is "RUN" and the other is "REVERSE" . In Forward only the Run switch is closed and in Reverse both switches are closed.

Apparently, the Run switch closes when in Reverse, but not when in Forward. Maybe the cam is no rotating far enough when Forward is selected.

Attached are pictures of cam and switches in Forward, Neutral and Reverse.

------------
BTW: The F/R can be replaced with a DPDT (on-off-on) toggle switch.
