Re: DS No Go
You are correct. That is a Series cart so your high amperage switching is controlled by the FNR lever and not the controller. Since your solenoid is engaging the MS's must be working but the contact(s) could be bad on the FNR or there could be a bad connection.

Also, the spade terminal on the top of MS#2 was barely attached, most definitely not making connection. This wire goes to B- on the controller if I am looking at the wiring diagram correctly. What is it's purpose? Obviously, I need a new FnR switch. What could have caused this, and would this have been the root of my recent issues? |

Re: DS No Go
All of the amperage flowing from the batteries to the motor go through the F&R contacts. The OEM F&R can be a weak point in the amperage delivery system since the contacts are friction points which do wear over time.
I understand the original complaint was a shudder under load and that certainly could be caused by poor F&R contact. A shudder is also common when battery voltage is low..... speaking of which when battery voltage gets low battery amperage draw increases dramatically which causes more component heat. So it's often a combination of things that lead to a failure. Get a HD F&R switch. |

I really hope this solves my issues. I am officially in the 'throwing parts at it' phase. |
