HELP - New Controller Not Working Right

[vw3858]

Ok, so im trying to wrap up the functional part of my build and after getting all my new cables and such hooked up, this is swhat I have:

- 2001 Club Car 48v (Power Drive Plus - Regen 2)
- Alltrax 500A Controller (with Regen Adapter)

Symptom: When put into Forward, I get no movement whatsoever; When placed in Reverse, I get the reverse warning but the cart goes Forward

Let me know what someone needs to possibly help diagnos.....The day ended horrible with this; Lets not hear you have a crossed wire; I'd like help 'finding' the cause

I believe this thread is very similar, (but for IQ controller/motor issue.)

Thanks Scuba - I will try this first thing in the morning - this day went to heck with this first fire-up attempt - Thanks again, will let you know if this is the case...

Ok here was the deal;

1) The point at which you splice a 33" blure wire into a point on the passenger side where there are 3 (a "Y") conduits; For a day. and my 'first' connection (which didn't work obviously) was tapped on the passenger side "in the battery compartment" where the rear, the tow/Charge, and the front dash conduits merge - You see my picture never did match the one in the directions.....

After driving the cart to my house, beeping all the way, which the F/R switch in Reverse, but going forward, I parked it for the night; Came in and did some searching on the forum. Scuba pointed me to a thread that would end up benefiting me as well, but not for my exact prob at the time. After studying the forum and the schematics of my cart, I was tracing EVERY connection on the cart to ensure "I" knew where everything was, was run correctly etc.

After all this, I still ended up at the same point that I never was confident in - the picture in the D&D Controlled instructions about the 'Y" splice in (#.

2) The following morning (right before my nap ), BINGO, there it was.I had to crawl under the cart, and the 'first' "Y" conduit leg that comes from the front-end, actually has another "Y" intersecting 3 conduits....and OMG, this one LOOKS like the picture .

3) Ten minutes of re-wiring and SHAZAM!!!!! Forward went forward, Reverse went reverse (with buzzer/beeping)

Now, where Scubabud's help comes in: EARLY the same morning, I had already reversed the field leads on the motor, EXPECTING to have the F/R switch operating backwards, which seems to be the case, or can be the case with an upgraded controller and stock motor - this was my case.

The short version I think I touched on under My Build Update this morning, but this should be more detailed
