Power washed batteries, now cart is slow
Hey All - i know this topic has been covered, but i need to ask anyways.
I power washed my 2002 DS including under the seat and batteries, and I hit them really good. Now the cart is super slow. It goes, but top speed used to be 12-13, now it's like 5-6. It's been 48 hours so i've tried to let everything dry out. Any thoughts or ideas of what else i can do, or if i really damaged anything? |

Re: Power washed batteries, now cart is slow
Which model DS do you have? Is it the IQ system with an MCOR or does it have the VGLIDE potentiometer?

Re: Power washed batteries, now cart is slow
Could be a lot of things. Either damaged or wet. I would unhook the pack and let everything dry for another day or two.
You should never powerwash that area. |

And like twilliams said. If you have a v-glide take the cover off and let it dry out.

You can rest assured at the very least the Fwd/Rev Rocker switch is wet. Had it happen too many times. Pull it up blow it out and re-seat the contacts.

Re: Power washed batteries, now cart is slow
Since it is an IQ cart the speed sensor should be a top suspect for slow speed.
Disconnect the 16-pin connector from the Controller and blow dry everything to make sure there is no trapped water causing a signal issue on the speed sensor circuit. |
