You can test the F&R for continuity... it is at least an indication that the contacts are mating up.

You can verify this with your multi meter. To check this test the B- section of the controller and the m- . with the pedal down you should have full pack voltage, if you do not the forward - reverse switch is your problem. Pro-tip, if you determine that it was not the forward reverse switch- the next most likely culprit would be the throttle... Download the toolkit from www.AlltraxInc.com (this is free)click on the throttle settings tab, un check 'High Pedal Disable' then click set (on the left) it will turn blue, once it turns back to gray try operating the cart again... good luck
