48v ds sometimes wont move
i have a 48v ds that sometimes doesn't want to move when you hit the accelerator pedal I was looking for the resistance specs on the mcor itself to test it cant find anything and the micro switch inside it is working like its suppose to it tests fine but the other side of it idk if its working properly and it only does like every 3 times you hit the pedal it wont move and you gotta hit it a couple of times then it will take off

Re: 48v ds sometimes wont move
I had a similar problem on my 95 DS. My solinoid would in gage but cart wouldn't move. This wouldn't happen all the time and sometimes besides not running at all it would run slow. It took me almost 6 months of find the problem but make sure the mcor plug is clean but my problem was the small wires connected to the controller. I removed them and cleaned the connections and problem has been sesolved for over a year.

Re: 48v ds sometimes wont move
yea that's what Im goin to look at it in the morning got pulled off of it this afternoon so ill go back to it tomorrow I have a feeling that the mcor itself has a bad spot in it as well but I don't wanna spend all that money on a mcor if it don't fix it so Ill check the connections at the controller and the back side of the connectors at the mcor and see what I find

Re: 48v ds sometimes wont move
Having the same problem with my EZGO. Someone suggested tightening the FR switch to make better contact. Dont know if you have one or not.

Re: 48v ds sometimes wont move
97 CC DS 48volt
Mine started doing that. I would back out of the garage and then it refused to go forward. Heard a click when I hit the pedal but nothing else. Kept working the forward and reverse switch back and forth and hitting the pedal and eventually it would lurch forward and then run ok. Yesterday, after going through the same thing, I went a few miles to get a hair cut. I had a little problem when I left to come back. Once I got back, I checked around the cabling and could not touch the blue cable at the F&R switch that goes to the S2 on the motor. I plan to replace the cable and clean the F&R contact real well. Hopefully, that's all that's wrong with it. Anyone know where I can get a 4 gauge replacement? I have already replaced my battery cables with 4 gauge. It's the blue wire, about 48 inches or so. |

Re: 48v ds sometimes wont move
I just ordered the crimpers, ends and some wire. I would have to get some more wire but could make you a cable. It would be 2AWG and a yellow wire. Probably cost about $15. Id guess around $7-9 to ship from SC to FL.

I probably should have replaced the cables when I swapped out the battery cables from 6 to 4 gauge. And I did swap out the old Curtis for a 400 amp Curtis controller also. One of these days, I'll gt around to upgrading all the wiring. This is a great site for information. I just want to thank all you guys for sharing your expertise. You have saved me a lot of money, and I am on a retired, fixed income. Thank you. |
