I need help finishing my motor upgrade install:
Rattle Snake, Club Car - Master Series - High Speed Performance Electric Golf Cart Motors & Motor Controllers
My cart is an electric 1996 Club Car DS 48V. It ran fine when I started this project, it was just too slow to keep up with my friends. We live on an island which recently obtained golf cart community status.
I bought the whole set; motor, HD switch, 2 gauge wires, solenoid, and 700 amp controller. I overpaid but assumed (yes, I'm an ass) I would get support from Plum Quick - I should have done my due diligence here first and I would have skipped this costly mistake. I did receive the attached switch diagram from Robby but have not received answers to any of my other questions to him (called and emailed).
Anyway, I have everything installed and when I followed the switch diagram it did not work. I now have the wire from the bottom of the switch attached to A2 and A1 connected to B+ on the controller (like the Club Car wiring diagram). The cart works fine in forward but when I put it in reverse and depress the pedal I hear the solenoid click and the back up alarm, but nothing else happens. I assume it is something small that I have done wrong or there is an issue with a wire somewhere. Could there be something wrong with the reverse micro switch? Any help is greatly appreciated.
