2007 EZGO TXT - 100% Throttle all the Time, Won't Go

I had a Curtis 1264 controller flashing a 1,2 error when the cart quit moving.
Controller: 1268, Fault: 12
Fault Name: Throttle 1
Fault Cause:
1. Throttle input wire open.
2. Throttle input wire shorted to B+ or B-.
3. Throttle pot defective

I didn't know what to make of this so I replaced the solenoid, ITS, and mini switch since they were all cheap. That didn't work so I paid a guy to come look at it.
He told me the short was inside the controller. I ordered a Navitas 3.0 controller and installed it and still have no movement.

The Navitas App diagnostic page is showing 100% throttle and 4.9 volts or so as soon as I flip the switch from Tow to Run, and nothing I do affects that other than disconnecting power to the ITS. I tried changing the setting from 0-5 to 5-0 and that made it say 0% throttle, but pressing the gas doesn't make that level go up at all, so I don't think that's the issue (also, it seems like whatever was the problem when I had the curtis is still the problem now so I don't suspect a configuration issue with the navitas programing).

The solenoid doesn't click, unless I press the gas with the ITS disconnected, which gives a click, but obviously no movement.

I don't see any melted connections but that's the extent of my wiring diagnostic knowledge.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I don't see an ITS option.

All the firmware options relate to the motor, mine came with 600A Stock Motor 9.2 firmware. It has 600A and 440A options for Stock, Series, and PM motors.

I have the following described system from Navitas:

E-Z-GO Vehicles using a Curtis 1268/1520 (ITS)
10-000813
 
Maybe try calling Navitas tech support 844-576-2499. If the controller says for EZGO ITS then it should be configured for that. 0-5 and 5-0 are completely different throttle types from ITS, neither setting is going to work
 
After talking to Navitas support they said it is programmed correctly and converts ITS to 5-0. He walked me through multimeter troubleshooting and said my ITS sensor is bad. I had replaced it already but he said the amazon ones are junk and it may take 2-3 to get one that works, and he recommended I buy one from an OEM dealer. Will update for posterity if that worked. Thanks for the help guys.
 
That worked. A faulty ITS apparently. Now to figure out why it goes in reverse when I have it forward, and forward when it’s set to reverse… hmm
