I have a 2005 36 volt EZGO TXT PDS.
Cart usually runs great but it will just lose all power to the motor and stop occasionally (lights and other electronics stay on). I can be riding along and it will just quit. It is usually after I have slowed down and let off of the accelerator, but sometimes it will do it just riding along. If it sits for a few minutes, it will eventually pick up where it left off. It did this once about 6 months or so ago and it just started working again. Here lately it has started doing it more often, and now it happens every time i use it. It is not an overheating issue because sometimes it will cut out within the first few seconds, sometimes it takes 30 minutes. I can hear the solenoid clicking when I press the accelerator, but nothing happens.
I took it to a local guy that fixes carts in his garage and he can not figure it out. He thought is was the wiring so he put in all new lights, horn, break lights cables, etc. ($200) He then replaced the controller ($400), and he also just replaced the Potentiometer and run/tow switch ($400). I put in new batteries less than a year ago, so I know they are not the issue. Currently I've spent $1200 and he has no idea what is wrong, but at least I have nice lights now...
Any ideas? Please Help!!!
