Ok. Here is what I did:

1. Propped drive wheel up.
2. Opened up the switch panel and secured the arm in the down position.
3. Measured voltage on both the blue wire and the grey wire to the rabbit switch. 0v at rest. 0v while engaging 1st gear. 7.12v while engaging 2nd gear.

By 1st gear I mean the first click of the handle in wither forward or reverse, and by 2nd gear I mean twisting the handle all the way to the second click.

So the 7.12v doesn't sound like it would be enough to activate the 2 contactors in the door to achieve the 24 volts needed to make the motor reach rabbit speed?

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
