Understanding Club Car Micro Switches
What is a Club Car Micro Switch?
How It Works in Golf Cart Electrical Systems
- •When the operator presses the accelerator pedal or shifts the direction selector, the micro switch actuator is physically engaged, closing or opening the electrical circuit.
- •The switch state change sends a voltage signal to the motor controller (Curtis or Club Car OEM controller), indicating the desired speed or direction.
- •The controller adjusts power output to the drive motor based on the switch signal, controlling acceleration, deceleration, or reverse movement.
Three Main Applications in Club Car Systems
- •Mounted on the accelerator pedal assembly, the micro switch detects pedal travel position and sends proportional signals to the controller for smooth speed control.
- •Installed in the direction selector mechanism, the micro switch confirms the selected gear position before enabling motor output, preventing unintended movement.
- •Used in the safety interlock circuit to ensure the vehicle is in neutral before starting, and activates the reverse buzzer when backward movement is selected.

Accelerator pedal position detection system
The microswitch is mounted in the throttle pedal assembly of Club Cars and golf carts. When the pedal is depressed, the switch actuates, sending a position signal to the motor controller, thus enabling smooth proportional speed control. Our G5T26 series features a hinged lever (operating force 200-400gf) and directly replaces OEM part numbers 1014807 (3 terminals) and 1014808 (2 terminals) for DS and Precedent club car micro switches.

Forward/Reverse Direction Selector
The microswitch in the direction selection mechanism confirms the gear (forward, neutral, reverse) before the controller activates the motor output. This prevents accidental engagement and ensures safe operation. Compatible with Club Car Tempo (2018 and later models) and all DS/Precedent models equipped with gasoline and electric drive systems.

Get Product PriceFAQ About Club Car Micro Switch
What OEM part numbers does this Club Car micro switch replace?
Our G5T26 series micro switches are direct replacements for the following Club Car OEM part numbers:
•1014807 (3-terminal, SPDT) — Accelerator pedal position switch
•1014808 (2-terminal, SPST) — Direction selector switch
•1014805 / 4240 / 8991 — Alternative compatible part numbers
How do I know if my Club Car micro switch needs replacement?
Common symptoms of a failing Club Car micro switch include: inconsistent acceleration response, failure to engage forward or reverse gear, reverse buzzer not activating, or the vehicle failing to start in neutral position. If you experience any of these issues, test the micro switch with a multimeter for continuity. If the switch shows intermittent or no continuity when actuated, replacement is recommended.
What's the difference between 2-terminal and 3-terminal Club Car micro switches?
The 2-terminal (SPST) micro switch has a simple on/off function and is typically used for direction selector applications (OEM# 1014808). The 3-terminal (SPDT) switch has a common terminal plus normally-open and normally-closed contacts, allowing more complex circuit configurations for accelerator pedal position sensing (OEM# 1014807). The terminal count must match your original equipment for proper fit and function.
Can you provide custom lever configurations for Club Car applications?
Yes. Unionwell offers full OEM/ODM customization for Club Car micro switch lever configurations. We can develop special lever shapes, adjust operating force (200gf/300gf/400gf), and modify terminal layouts to match your specific requirements. Send us your technical drawing or sample for evaluation and quotation.
What certifications do your golf cart micro switches hold?
All Unionwell Club Car micro switches carry UL/cUL certification for the North American market, ENEC certification for European markets, and CQC certification for the Chinese market. Our products comply with international safety standards and can be integrated into golf cart electrical systems without additional certification requirements.
