If you are a golf enthusiast who possesses a Golf Cart, then slight wear and tear are not uncommon. In most of the cases of wear and tear, Golf Cart owners check for the forward-reverse switch.
If your Golf Cart is not moving forward and backward properly, there might be a problem with your forward and reverse switch.
When you examine the forward and reverse switch of the golf cart, first look for corrosions or check if any wiring is disconnecting. In the switch, some connectors are loosely connected to facilitate ease of movement of the Golf Cart.
To test if a reverse forward switch is faulty, one has to follow the steps that are mentioned below:
- Check thoroughly for loose connections. Use a multimeter to check if all the parts are getting power.
- Place your foot on the car’s brake, insert the key, and put the forward-reverse key in the forward position. If you see that the solenoid charges up pushing the pedal, then your forward reverse switch is working fine.
- As you put your Golf Cart in the forward mode, check your multimeter for full voltage.
If you find an anomaly, it might be an indication of a faulty forward reverse switch.
