95 club car,is my controller dead?

dieseldodge

hi all, im new to all this so please go easy on me, my problem is my mother-in-laws 95 club car. It suddenly stopped moving. every part on it is completely standard. its up on jack stands at the moment and when the pedal is presed the solenoid clicks, theres a high pitched hum and the wheels turn very slowly. Today i put a new motor in, (still standard) and i have the same thing, click from solenoid humming noise and this time the wheels turn a little quicker but theres not enough power to drag the cart along. its already cost me a motor and i dont want to throw too much money at it, any ideas?

forgot to mention the batteries are fully charged pack reads 50.3v with all batteries reading near enough the same voltage

First, read this post....

i doubt the problem is the motor (they usually don't go out unless something else burns them up or blows them up).

Check for loose connections in the wires and someone else may be along soon with some more insight.

Hello dieseldodge and Welcome to the forum.

phasetim

have you checked the batteries under a load?

dieseldodge

thanks for the replies. i'm pretty sure its the controller at fault. ive just been trying to locate one and the guy told me he only has a 36v one not the 48v i need. From what i've been reading a curtis 1204-408 is 36 ~48v. so my question is, what would this "36v" controller do if i put it in a 48v system?

most controllers are variable voltages.. teh problem may be the throttle style..

If you have to go new, look into an alltrax controller...

You may also want to test the vehicles OBC if you haven't done so already. Controllers can be rebuilt for about half the price of a new one. I can provide some information on rebuilding if this is an option.
