Greetings All -
The kids had our golf cart out for a ride and it stopped running. We got it home and I started checking things and I am wondering if it isn’t the controller so I thought I would share what I checked and hopefully get some suggestions on other things to check.
The cart information:
Year: 2004
Make: EZGO
Body Style: GC
Ezgo Textron Xi 875E
I plugged it in so that it was fully charged. Then I checked the batteries and they are charged. I also checked the wires and the fuses.
When I turn the key on and put it in forward and step on the pedal the solenoid clicks. Same for reverse.
At this point I was really hoping it was the solenoid and not the controller. I checked for continuity between the large terminals of the solenoid without the cart on and the pedal not pushed and there was not. I turned it to the on position and pressed the pedal and there was continuity between the large terminals.
Then I disconnected the wires from the large terminals and checked for ohms with the cart turned on and the pedal pushed and it was 0.2 ohms. From what I read that seems to be in line with a good reading.
That’s where I am at. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan
