  • 1996 Club Car won't charge

    I have a 96 club car carryall with a FE 350, it will not charge. I have replaced the starter/generator it was a CCW we replaced it with a CW wired backwards, and then replaced the volt regulator. Still no joy. The new volt reg has 6 wires on it the old one had 3. This all started with a failed starter. Any body know what else to check?
    :mad::confused:

    First, run a test to check that your new starter generator is actually putting out a charge now that it is running in reverse.

      I've done that too, I get get voltage but it's not 14v. It's around 7-8 volts depening on RPM. Also since I've changed the Voltage regulator the windshield wiper only works when the switch is turned to the start posistion.

          Okay, now it's doing somthing funny. It brieflyhit 16V now 0V to actually pulling from the battery. I also found that I disconnect the black jumper wire on the relay it don't pull from the battery but it don't charge either. I have no earthly clue what is going on. I need a good wireing diagram and a service manual any body have one I could download. I have 2 of these carts the wiring does not even look the same and they are both 96 carryalls.

            7May08- I replaced the starter generator with a CCW and it works perfectly. I tried to tell the dealer it would not work because the generator was wound differently but he told he had done this before, with the same results I suspect. CW S/G is not interchangeable with CCW the starter portion will work but the generator will not.

              I didnt think that it would put out a charge in reverse, glad the problem was found!
