Electrical System
Direction Selector Switch
The direction selector switch allows the direction (for-
ward/neutral/reverse) of the vehicle to be changed by
the operator and is one of several inputs for the vehicle
controller. The direction selector switch is located on the
dash panel (Fig. 33).
NOTE: Direction selector switch terminals 1, 2 and 3
are used on all Workman GTX Electric vehicles to
change the direction of the vehicle. On vehicles with a
reverse alarm (12 VDC circuit), switch terminals 4 and
5 are also used to activate the alarm when the selector
switch is in the reverse direction.
NOTE: The Workman GTX Electric direction selector
circuit is a 48 VDC circuit.
Testing
1. Park vehicle on a level surface, turn key switch to
OFF, engage the parking brake and remove key from
the key switch.
2. Raise hood to allow access to wire harness connec-
tions to the direction selector switch.
3. Disconnect wire harness connector from the direc-
tion selector switch.
4. With the use of a multimeter (ohms setting), the
switch functions may be tested to determine whether
continuity exists between the various terminals for each
direction switch position. The direction switch terminals
are marked as shown in Figure 34. The circuitry of this
switch is shown in t he chart below. Verify continuity be-
tween switch terminals.

5. Replace direction selector switch if testing deter-
mines that the switch is faulty.
6. If direction selector switch tests correctly and circuit
problem still exists, check wire harness for possible
problems (see electrical schematic and wire harness
drawing in Chapter 6 -- Electrical Drawings).
7. After direction selector switch testing is complete,
connect wire harness connector to the selector switch.
Lower and secure front hood.
