HOT Forward and Reverse Switch

Welcome to Cartaholics.

The switch shouldn't get hot. When it gets hot is caused be a bad/loose cable connection or a contact in the switch. Make sure all the cables on the switch are tight. If the switch still gets hot you'll need to rebuild the switch or replace it.
 
decided to replace it all with heavy duty stuff..

4 gauge all around.. HD direction switch and 400 amp alltrex controller

no need to fool around trying to piece it together.. thanks for the help

It wouldn't hurt. If the one your running now isn't getting hot it should be fine. What year and model is the cart? If it's a Marathon you may already have a HD solenoid.
 
I use White Rogers 586 HD solenoids. If your isn't getting hot I wouldn't worry about it. The controller cover won't fit with this solenoid.
 
I agree with HRC. Check it out after a nice 30 minute ride. If you feel some heat, that's normal. If it's way hot, be prepared to get an HD unit installed.
