So I turn my key on and get e electronic reverse module error. I put the shifter in override mode, shift forward and backwards and the module doesn't move. I disconnected the cable and the bucket moves. The battery has a full charge. Any ideas?
It was the battery that triggered it for us.
we forgot to turn the battery off last use and something was left on (maybe the radio) and drained it just enough to set the alarm.

It's right next to the battery switch. It's a 2" x 2" square black box with a red button sticking out. Feel just underneath it and if it is tripped a lever will be present. Push this up. See picture below. Blue arrow points to the breaker and the red button. Orange arrow is where you want to feel and push up to reset. Pushing the red button will trip the breaker which you can reset by pushing the lever up.

Here’s the relays.
Mine wouldn’t let me start engines and showed e reverse module error.
I replaced them all and working fine now.
John: Thanks for the picture re. the relay modules. As soon as I input these, the E reverse error went away. Took your advise and purchased the Omron brand relays. Apparently they are taller than the original modules as the cover for this fuse box will not fit. Will use rubber bands, etc. to keep it in place. Who ever at Scarab ordered the faulty relay modules has caused many of their owners alot of frustration! Mine is a 2020. My hope is they aren't inputting the same relay modules.

2016 Scarab 255 - Morning all - one more here with the reverse module fault 🤦‍♂️. When it first faulted, I turned motors off for 5 mins, restarted and it worked… for about 5 mins then faulted again. Turned motors off for 15 mins, still faulted. Ran both batteries in combination and it started working….. for about 10 mins then it faulted again and now, regardless of time off still not working. One battery was nearing its life, so I replaced it, other battery was at full charge, but its still not working. I am going to replace the relays this morning but wanted to check if there were any other thoughts based on how it started to fail??? It’s odd to me that it would stop and start working multiple times…

Had same issue for last few days. Bought 2 new batteries that were definitely overdue at 5 years old. Bought relays from Napa and ordered extras on Amazon, none of that fixed problem, I even left batteries disconnected overnight like a poster said somewhere on the forum. Last thing I tried last night fixed it, the damn kill switch. Pull it off and put it back on, turn my switch back on and the error was gone. Fired up both motors and reverse magically worked.
Not sure why the engines would run and go forward if the switch was loose or maybe it’s faulty. Idk but so relieved that I’m not going to dealer.
