@gerryr, this could be as simple as the reverse switch being the problem. It is a mechanical contact and could be not making the connection. You can check that by switching the wires from the forward/reverse switch and see if you now have only reverse. If so, you know it's the switch. You did not tell us if your cart has a backup beeper and if it still comes on. Also, let us know if this cart has a dash mounted toggle switch.

what if its not the switch?

I replaced the forward reverse control board. Now I have no reverse. Reverse worked prior to replacing control board.

@mikegolf have you tried to switch the wires to see if you then have reverse but no forward?

by

Hi my ez-go 2005 txt cart suddenly decided to not go in reverse ! the reverse alarm sounds but the cart won't go ! it will run forward when I push on the rocker switch. I checked the contacts behind the switch and they are ok no broken or frayed wires.

mine was the micro switch on the passenger side of the forward reverse switch. I just bent the prong put on the lower side of the metal just below the white tip of the switch. This way it pushes further into the switch housing.
