2003 48 Volt Club Car Barely Moves

ozcanj

Okay I will do the best I can here. Please be patient as this is new to me. I don't see the year on the Club Care but its a 2003 or so. I was driving up the driveway in the snow, hit the brakes hard, stopped and put the kids on the bus. When I hopped back in there was nothing. No go what so ever. I towed it back and it sat for a few months. I went to drop it off at the repair shop and made the rookie mistake of letting a friend who said he could fix it try. So far the computer, controller, pedal switch have been replaced. The motor was completely rebuilt they said it was ready to pooch and a little crispy inside. Here what I can tell you.

The batteries have been load tested
They are fully charged 51 volts
When I hit the gas I hear the solenoid click
I jumped the two large posts and the wheels turned for two seconds
I tested the micro switches at the forward reverse and theres full power
When the charger is plugged in it goes on for ten minutes and turns itself off
The reverse buzzer sounds when put in reverse

Start with the model number on the passenger side floorboard look at the kick panel and there should be a model number, that will help with a lot of things. I never feel comfortable when someone seemly change a lot of expensive parts and not detail why. You said it ran for two seconds, was it on jack stands.
Also by the way welcome to BGW!

Any other way to tell?

Yes I changed the computer and jacked it up. I kept hitting the gas pedal and nothing would happen except for the solenoid clicking. Then finally I hit it and the tires spun a quarter way around (lol not much) I did some research and crossed the main lugs on the solenoid and the wheels did a couple turns when I hit the pedal. If I hold the gas pedal down and spin the wheels by hand the motor assists but they don't have enough power to keep spinning.

And thanks for the welcome. Have a feeling I will be here a lot.

Did my research online and it looks like a Club Car DS 48 volt electric

So when you jumped the solenoid it worked but without the jumper it would just click. Did they replace the solenoid?

ozcanj

without the jumper after numerous times pushing on the gas pedal it moved a quarter turn on one of the pushes. Then after I attached the jumper they spin a couple times around and stop. More spin but not much.

No they said they tested to solenoid and didn't replace. They might of checked the ohms
