Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- E-Z-GO TXT 36V series-drive carts (1994 and later, where equipped)
- E-Z-GO Medalist 36V series-drive carts
- E-Z-GO utility vehicles using the same 70578-G01 mechanical switch
- Not for DCS, PDS, or AC-drive rocker-switch systems
Product Overview
Burned copper contacts, melted studs, or a lever that works only when held can stop a series cart from moving in one or both directions. This heavier switch assembly handles the high-current path between the batteries, controller, and motor on the correct drive system.
It is not the small rocker input used on DCS or PDS carts. Identify the cart as series drive and photograph every cable before disconnecting the battery pack.
This is an aftermarket replacement part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown. Model names alone may not guarantee fitment. Compare the original component, reference number, connector or mounting design, dimensions, and any serial-number or production-date break before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my cart is series drive? A: Series carts use the large mechanical F/R assembly to route motor current; DCS and PDS systems use different controls.
Q: Can loose cables burn the new switch? A: Yes. High resistance at a loose lug creates heat and rapid contact damage.
Q: Does it fit 48V TXT carts? A: Not unless that cart specifically uses this 36V series-drive assembly.
