95 Club Car 48v Stopped moving
Hi all!
New to forum but lurked for a while. I have obtained a Club Car DS 48v and am restoring it. I had a new battery pack installed by a local dealer/repair shop. They had to rewire everything. Today I tried to back up out of my garage and the cart jumped a little and then stopped. Cart jumps slightly and stops in forward. I reset the OBC and the cart ran in forward and reverse as normal. I then proceeded to finish priming the body as I thought the issue was fixed. Went to pull it in the garage for the night and it did the same thing as before. I did not try resetting the OBC as it was late. Could the OBC be going bad or would it be the solenoid? All parts are original, the dealership did not need to replace any parts. All they did was weld a new battery box, install new cables and hold downs, and a pack of US Batteries and repack the front bearings. The only thing is, the cart was outside for an indeterminate amount of time. It was salvaged by me from a friend who wanted it out of her yard. It was kept under an open car port in the dirt driveway with no wheels. On a side note, the dealer had no chargers for sale (out of stock) so I purchased a DPI 48v Charger. I got it 2 days ago and when I plug it in and hook it up to ac power cord to turn on, the volt meter does not move and the charger makes no noise, it's like it is dead. I tested all my batteries (even though they are brand new) and have 8.34 v to 8.36v to each battery with cable disconnected. I have another DPI charger being sent to me as a replacement. I am thinking if the second charger does not work it may be the OBC. Dealer said the cart charged fine when they had it. Thanks for all your help! |

Check your DPI charger model number. They make two models for the DS one with a OBC, one for no OBC.

Not running and not charging could be the same problem if the OBC is bad ( real bad ) or it may be 2 problems. The solenoid is suppose to click each time you press the gas. See if you can hear it when the cart runs. Now see if it clicks when the cart does not run.

Re: 95 Club Car 48v Stopped moving
This model is for an OBC. If you don't have an OBC or yours isn't working this charger won't work.
To eliminate the OBC completely you need DPI charger 1-48co17e20-00. A lot of people go this way once the OBC goes bad. |

Re: 95 Club Car 48v Stopped moving

Re: 95 Club Car 48v Stopped moving
The OBC is an on board computer which controls the charger. The charger used with the OBC has no control board. A charger used with out the OBC needs to have a control board. These chargers are classified 'smart' or stand alone chargers. Your's is a dumb charger for lack of a better term. I hope this helps

Re: 95 Club Car 48v Stopped moving
As mentioned above, in order for the charging system to work properly, the model charger You bought would require a functioning OBC. That may not be Your problem if the charger relay is not even clicking (no sound from the charger). In order for the charger relay to click, You only need two things: 1) Positive wire from the pack positive to the charger receptacle. Make sure the shop connected Your wires back together the correct way. Set your meter to 200vDC. Measure the voltage from the Pack negative battery post to the positive socket of the Charger Receptacle. You should get Pack Voltage, if not, make sure the positive wire from the charger receptacle is connected to the pack positive battery post. If the first test is good, measure the voltage on the Charger Receptacle from the "Sense" wire socket to the "Positive" wire socket. You should get about 5v less than pack voltage, if You get 0v, make sure the fuse on the sense wire fuse holder is good. |
