Chosen Solution

i have a 25 year old golf cart and reverse went out. when the knob is turned to reverse , the engine dose not even attempt to engage. it can go forward tho. No issues in neutral either.

j9692000 try this “EZGO GAS Gas engine circuits, 12 volts is supplied from the BATTERY which flows through the IGNITION SWITCH, then to the MICRO SWITCH, then through the SOLENOID to the FORWARD/REVERSE SWITCH and STARTER/GENERATOR. If Starter/generator fails to turn over when the gas pedal is pushed, perform the following tests. With the ignition switch ON and the gas pedal DEPRESSED, check for 12 VOLTS at the small terminal of the solenoid that is not GROUNDED. If voltage is PRESENT, jumper the two LARGE termials on the solenoid. If motor turns, the solenoid is defective. If motor doesn’t turn, either the Forward/Reverse Switch or the Starter/Generator needs testing. If NO voltage is present, check the ignition switch and the micro switch(located under cup attached to pedal by means of a rod) for voltage.” from here "

this happened to me also, its electrical problem mine ended up fixing its self but i know what it was, but you have the same year as mine it might an ezgo so i can help you. you need to take the metal plate off the back sand off the connection reconnect it, if the reverse sound doesn’t go off then it could just be a broken switch. hope this helps
