Re: 96 regen 1 controller and potentometer question
Correct me if I'm wrong but a cart with a 1996 serial # should have a 5k-0 pot, seems you have a more common 0-5k installed. Maybe somebody changed it. If yes your reading would be 0-5k and you need either a 5k-0 pot or a 0-5k controller so these two can communicate.

If that's the case - get all the numbers off the controller and identify if it is compatible with the pot you have.

Re: 96 regen 1 controller and potentometer question
If you had to replace the OBC it sounds like the batteries could have been hooked up wrong at some point and could have blown the controller as well.
Check all the connections at the solenoid, controller, and motor first. Get the service manual for your year cart and test the controller. Also disconnect the motor and look up how to jump it with a 12v battery to see if the motor works. I had one a while back that the brushes in the motor were toast. Tested the motor in the cart and it wouldn't spin so took it out and pulled the end off with the brushes and they were worn down to nubs. |

Re: 96 regen 1 controller and potentometer question
The Regen 1 has a Continuously Variable potentiometer, so it is neither 0-5kΩ nor 5k-0Ω.
If You measure from purple to yellow, it will be 0-5kΩ If you measure from white/black to yellow, it will be 5k-0Ω If you measure from white/black to purple, it will be a fixed 5kΩ Make sure You get all of the above resistance readings. Here is the wiring diagram: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/attac...s_-regen1-.jpg |
