no reverse , drives in forward ok

[Denval]

Club Car 1998 48 volt
Goes fine in forward no drive at all in reverse
Reverse buzzer works and solenoid clicks
I suspected the rotary F/R switch but visually checks ok, rusty but not burnt or melted
Was unsure weather to pull apart F/R switch to check 100% and clean
Is it possible to swap two cables on the F/R switch to see if I then have reverse but no forward drive to confirm the F/R switch is the fault

[Denval]

Update I have removed F/R switch stripped and checked ( was ok ) cleaned terminals
Unsure how to fault find further and was after some advice
All cables and connections seem ok

Denval,
I don't know allot about that F & R switch, but there are also micro switches for each position, did you test them to see if they are working?

I expect one of the pros will see your post soon, and give you some additional help.

I'm certainly no pro (at least with carts) But I'd give a hard look at the 3rd (closest to the batteries) m/s switch. By the print I'm looking at the green wire should connect to the top lug. The black (with the resistor) on the middle lug and the white to the bottom lug. The common could be miss-wired.

And yes you can swap the orange and blue cables at the F/R switch and get full speed reverse.

Check the connections to your motor.

if the switch isn't melted, then it is the mirco closest to the batteries on the F/R switch

If the ms closest to the batteries is okay you can swap the 2 cables on the small swivel terminals. if this reverse the problem direction, replace the F&R with my HD F&R switch CC92F

My mate ( the owner ) has been using his cart pushing it when he needs reverse
Will have to wait until he leaves it with me again before checking it out further.
