- 1983.5-and-newer Club Car DS 36V electric resistor carts using 1011997
- Compatible modified Club Car DS resistor carts requiring the heavy-duty switch
- Excludes 48V and controller systems using a different F/R assembly
Product Overview
A cart that runs in only one direction, cuts out when the lever moves, or shows melted plastic and burned copper contacts may have a failed F/R switch. Batteries, solenoid, controller or resistor circuit, motor fields, cables, and microswitch also need testing.
This manual switch reverses motor-field polarity on compatible resistor carts. Match 36 volts, resistor wiring, lever and microswitch arrangement, cable studs, and cart drive system.
Key Features & Performance
- Carries high motor current and reverses field polarity on a matching resistor cart
- Application-specific electrical function for the listed circuit
- Reference, connector, pinout, and mounting details support a safer match
- Cross-references 1011997, 1017530-03, FR-001, 693

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this fix a cart that moves only in reverse? A: It can if the F/R contacts are burned, but cables, motor fields, solenoid, and microswitch must also be tested.
Q: Does this fit a 48-volt Club Car? A: No. This listing is for the matching 36-volt resistor-cart arrangement.
Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number where available, then compare the removed part, dimensions, connections, mounting details, model, serial or production information, and package photos.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
