EZGO ELECTRIC FORWARD AND REVERSE NOT SWITCHING

[cja]

1998 EZGO ELECTRIC DCS FORWARD AND REVERSE SWITCH NOT SWITCHING PROPERLY CART CUTS OUT WHEN PUSHING PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IS THIS A SWITCH PROBLEM OR CONTROLLER PROBLEM?

Could be a number of things. Does it do the same in forward and reverse? Could be your pedal micro, your ITS, solenoid, controller or something else. Need a little more info!

YES IT DOES THE SAME THING IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. THE F/R SWITCH IS NOT WORKING RIGHT YOU HAVE TO SWITCH IT BACK AND FORTH TO GET IT TO GO INTO REVERSE. THIS CART HASN'T RUN IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. PUT NEW BATTERIES IN IT AND CART RUNS FINE AT SLOW SPEED BUT WHEN YOU PUSH GAS TO SPEED UP IT STARTS CUTTING OUT AND EVENTUALLY WILL STALL ALTOGETHER BUT YOU CAN CUT THE SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WILL START UP AGAIN. I CHECKED ALL THE CONNECTIONS TO BATTERIES AND MOTOR AND EVERYTHING IS TIGHT AND CLEAN NOTHING SEEMS TO BE HEATING UP EITHER.

Most likely the ITS. Check under the cart and make sure the wires are not damaged , if it looks rusted out or damaged in any way, you may need a replacement.
