02:00 - 𝗤:𝟬𝟭- Cart battery issue - I have an EZGO electric golf cart. The older model uses 6 6volt batteries. The cart will not go forward or back. That switch is supposedly good. If the voltage is reading less than 36 volts, could the batteries be my problem?

03:09 - 𝗤:𝟬𝟮 - Cart low-speed issue - I have a 2014 EZGO txt gas. I have replaced the carburetor fuel pump air filter spark plug fuel filter and it runs fine at low speed but when you go wide open for about 1/8 mile it acts like it’s running out of gas. If you set there for 5 minutes you can go that far again any help would be appreciated.

07:51 - 𝗤:𝟬5 - How to buildva custom made Golf cart - Hello, I would like to know if it would be possible to build a golf cart. When I say build, I mean 100% custom, as they would say, start from the bottom, move to the top. The bottom being nothing but parts and a dream, to a working, moving golf cart. Is this a possibility or am I way over my head?

10:02 - 𝗤:𝟬6 - Cart charger issue - Red light showing Lester summit series 2. Hi guys. Suddenly the
red light on the charger is lit, the batteries are about 5 yrs old, and the charger is a little over 2 yrs old. Used as normal after round plug charged in, yellow light flashed, as usual, next morning red light was on, batteries were fully charged.

12:34 - 𝗤:𝟬7 - Cart battery issue - Battery light flashes after playing around 9 holes and the cart sputters frequently checked batteries and they show 8.5 volts each ( 6- 8 volt batteries) seems like a short or something, could it be the solenoid?

15:26 - 𝗤:𝟬8 - The accelerator issue - My 2011 Club Car Precedent 48 volts extended cab, suddenly has gotten where when I depress the electric accelerator it sometimes does nothing, sometimes do just a little bit and other times if I keep pushing it down to the floor it’ll go. So what gives?

Hello Tim
contoller not working ? . I I had the key switch, micro switch, solenoid. and all works, Turn the switch lights led meter. The reverse sounds then no forward or back .
does that mean the controller is bad

[luckystrike]

My 1999 EZGO DCS goes full speed in reverse only. No forward. I have checked all microswitches. Replaced the controller with a donor with no success. Original controller is back in. I think I have the wiring correct. Any thoughts on what is wrong.

I need help with my 2013 club car precedent I have a problem I put a headlight and taillights kit on it and now when you forward or reverse it wants to jump

[briansmith]

I have an older model EZGO charger. When I pug it in, it starts humming after 3 or 4 seconds but the gauge shows no amps flowing and the batteries don't charge. The AC cord gets warm so it is getting juice. I have good continuity on all wires in the charge cord, the fuse is good, the 2 diodes show open on my tester, and I replaced the control card.
It still doesn't work.
Any ideas where the fault is?

[scottiacovone]

I have a mtp ez go 800 it was on charge for 4 hrs and it will only go for 30feet amd then dies really fast any ideas. Im new to golf carts

[BirdsRule]

purchased a battery from 48 105ah lithium and am attempting conversion myself. In 2013 clubcar precedent

I was told I could use existing club car lead acid charger.
Installed batteries. It worked fine. Plugged in charger over night. Did not work next day. The existing voltage meter shows power regardless of key on or off. I have checked all the fuses I. Can find. 1 in battery compartment and 2 behind controller panel.

I have replaced solenoid- same problem.😢

I reinstalled the original batteries and same problem excisted.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

What is your thoughts on trying to revive batteries

[andrewmorones]

Hello Tim I like the hat where can I get one ? Keep up the great work boss.

Hello Tim
I have a 2014 Club Car Precedent 48v, it was running good, let it sit for a month, and when I used it at first brakes would lock up on touching them and speed was slow, analog battery meter was almost in the red on driving it. I recharged it and drove it tapping brakes seemed to reset them I guess, speed would go fast and then slowdown. Analog battery meter still pulled down to red. The batteries were 4 years old... I bought 6 new 8 v batteries. The old ones tested okay on load but it was time. Now It still draws down to almost red and not top speed. Controller ? Your thoughts . Thank You Not sure what to test next

[ronnieduff]

Put new us batteries in a 2014 yamaha ydrex4. They were fully charged 51 volts, and would drop down to 47 volts from the very start. What would cause that much of a drain that fast? Thanks

[tonybrown]
