Cart won't charge after new controller install (DCX400)??
Installed a new controller (DCX400) along with a new set a 4 gauge cables and now tried charging for the first time and nothing happens. I plugged in the charger, needle on meter went up for a second as it always did in the past, then back down, then back up for another couple seconds, now nothing.......
Tried unplugging everything and restarting and now nothing happens at all. Checked fuses and all are good. All was fine pre controller/cable replacement. New 4 gauge wire still goes through OBC. Do I need to try and reset OBC? Could have the OBC fried somehow? Besides that cart is working fine Cart is a AQ02 Thanks |

Did you enlarge the opening in the OBC with a drill?

Any modification of the cable hole can cause the OBC to fail ? is there 48v at the cart charge receptacle..... for the charger to read when plugged in?

Since the amp meter on the charger moves up to 15+amps, the entire system is connected and working properly.
The OBC is trying to detect "ripple" current by turning the charger on and off. The measurement is done by the Hall effect sensor inside the OBC that the cable goes through. Was the battery side the one You crimped the new cable end? |

Do you have the red 10GA wire connected on battery #1 along with the heavy 2 or 4ga red wire.

What I was really trying to find out with my question about the cable end is what direction did you push the cable from? |
