94 Club Car DS takes off when key is turned on.
I have a DS that I am building. I swapped the motor for a Plum Quick Bandit and when I hooked everything back up and turned the key on it started forward on its own. I am reasonably sure I hooked everything back up the way it was! Any help is appreciated. Is this a solenoid issue or have I crossed a wire?
It has the controller setup. Not the block of resistors. |

Re: 94 Club Car DS takes off when key is turned on.
Is this a 36v or a converted 48v?

Re: 94 Club Car DS takes off when key is turned on.
What controller and throttle system are you using?
Is the pedal coming back like it should? |

The pedal is working fine. In fact, it takes off without even hitting the pedal. It starts moving as soon as the key is turned on. |

The pedal may not be working fine. If the wiper arm is not going all the way down (coming all the way back inside the v-glide) it will take off.

And/or the micro-switch in the v-glide. But was it in Fwd when this occurred? If not, there is a problem in the switch

Re: 94 Club Car DS takes off when key is turned on.
I wanted to update this thread with what appears to be the problem. There is a ball stud under the cart on the accelerator pedal. It connects the throttle linkage to the accelerator and to the V-glide on the other end. That ball stud was broken. This allowed the v glide to stay wide open - essentially tricking the cart into thinking you were mashing the gas. It is a horribly unsafe design - and probably why they aren't like that anymore.

Re: 94 Club Car DS takes off when key is turned on.
I have never had that particular thing happen. But, it would keep the wiper from working properly in the v-glide. Glad you found out what it was.
