Re: Charging problem
Was this the case before you replaced the Cables and Batteries ?
If it worked before then you either have Bad NEW Battery or you have a RE-Wiring problem. Re-wiring is the most common Prob. Is this a 36V or 48V system (Cart and charger) we had 1 guy yesterday with a 48 Volt system , he did just what you did but insted of buying 6 8Volt Batteries (48 Volt) he had purchased 6 6Volt batteries (36 Volt) so his 48 Volt charger would not come on. |

Re: Charging problem
Thanks for your reply , my car is a 48 volt . Yes the batteries are 8 volt .the has sat for about 9 yrs . when set up batts. were bad . My family & I all have 4-wheelers and are very active all the time . My youngest one wanted it fixed . Well we replaced the batts & cables , wired it to spec . Replaced solenoid , & had charger looked at . All is correct . ready to try anything.

Re: Charging problem
9 Yrs is a long time for mice and corrosion to get in there and do their damage. Grab a wiring diagram and a voltmeter....Is there another working cart around you can check the charger on or a repair shop that can verify the charger is in working order?

Re: Charging problem
Is it possible that the new batteries dont have enough juice to start the charger?

Re: Charging problem
Theres a cart repair shop close by , they told me to test the charge circuit that way to see if it is something other than the charger . When i first did it it worked well , charged fully . But then it would not charge again .

Re: Charging problem
I would guess your on board computer might be the problem. Your charger does not have a separate on/off switch, its triggered by a computer on the car.
