Help with f/r problem

Okay, got it. Battery pack voltage at orange pin 4 (correct pin) in both positions. Unplugged 4 pin and still has voltage in both directions. Adapter ls fairly new, but there are a couple 'looped' wires. Is that normal, or has the adapter been modified.

I think I'm getting close thanks to you guys!!!!

... And it seems that the black wire that is looped back into the orange wire has a diode in it. Could it be? Off to get a diode to replace this one.

To be continued...

There are actually two diodes in the adapter. The Anodes connect to Adapter J1 Pins 2 (Reverse) or 3 (Forward) and both Cathodes are connected to Adapter J1 Pin-9.

The diode connected to Adapter J1 Pin-2 is probably the bad one, but it could also be something shorting from Pin-1 to Pin-2 on that same jack.

---------
The PDS to DCX adapter is a plumber's nightmare. I'm fairly decent at tracing out circuits on schematics and I get lost and have to backtrack several times, every time I troubleshoot it.

So after being aggrevated all summer, it seems a $1.49 diode has fixed my problem!! Hallelujah! Thank you everyone for the guidance. You guys are the best!!

Looking good, glad that you got it running.

Thanks for the feedback on what fixed it.

Thank you. It's nice to be back on the road. Wife and kids (even the dog) were super excited! Thanks again for your guidance.

Good looking cart & Good Work, JohnnieB and Jason.

Nice to know what the problem was all summer

Another alternative would be a new adapter.
