burned green wire
I have a 2006 cc ds 48v with scotty-b 400 amp. Upgrade. I had it on an incline today under a little bit of a load. All of the sudden I smelled smoke, and the cart stopped dead! Upon checking the green wire had melted where it connected to the a1 on the motor, I put it into tow, and pulled it home!
My guess is that it was a little loose and got hot! I haven't tried to hook it back up yet. Wandering what you all think? thanks Bartman357 |

Re: burned green wire
Thank you all, for all the inputs! I should have known to just figure it out for myself!

Re: burned green wire
If you have a 400a control you may want to upgrade the amperage delivery cables. Any resistance in the amperage delivery to the motor will show up as unwanted heat. 4g is recommend for all the cables in the cart.

Re: burned green wire
Thanks cc fanatic,
I loosened the nut to remove the eye and yes the stud did try to turn! So it is loose is there a way to tighten it? Thanks Scotty-B yes I do have your upgrade on it so I do probably need bigger cables! Bartman357 |

Re: burned green wire
The wire inside the motor is most likely twisted / broken. Hate to say it but it is time for a motor rebuild / replacement

Re: burned green wire
Yep, you will more than likely need a new motor. Is it a series or sepex?
