Which cable(s) are getting hot? Make sure all the cables have clean tight connections. Seeing how you had to spin a tire to get the motor to turn it could be bad/worn brushes causing the cables to get hoe

Mostly the cables going to the F/R switch are getting hot,will change them out to 4 gage. Also the cart will not move after putting it in reverse, then switching back to forward..
Thanks for your reply.

You should take the switch apart and check the contacts, they may be shot. If they are it will cause the cables to get hot.

Cool,I will try to clean the contacts on the F/R switch, Also the cart came with a charger , I want to get it checked out before attempting to charge the batteries. Not sure if I have the wires connected right to try it...Thanks again for your help....

This site is great, I found the wiring diagram and that had the location of the charger wires. Will check them out again before I charge it. Next will be looking to lift and paint it. Thanks again...
