2005 Precedent wiring help

teckersley

OK. I need some major help of the wiring of a 2005 Precedent IQ. Newbie might have messed something up.

So I was installing a lift kit on my 2005 Precedent. I disconnected only the white and orange wire on the motor. Unfortunately, I did not disconnect any power source. As I was moving the wires around, one of them touched something and sparked. I did not think much of it and proceeded with the lift install.

Once I was done with the install, I hooked the white wire to A2 (outside of the motor) and connected the orange wire to F2 (inner on on black part of motor). I am almost certain this was their location when I started. In fact, I found a diagram on the net (not sure if it was accurate) and it had the same location. Can someone verify that too???

Turned the key on, hit the gas, and nothing. I took the cover off of the computer area and noticed a clear piece of wire with a green resistor looking thing connecting the two yellow wires. The clear piece was hot and the green resistor was burning black and melting.

Can anyone help me with what I did, or am doing wrong?? I have an extra one of those clear pieces with the green thing in the middle but when I put it on and hit the key and gas, it starts getting hot too so I immediately disconnected it.

I checked the square fuse on the computer board wiring and it looks fine.

HELLLLLLP!

Oh yes, and another key piece of info I forgot. Yes I am stupid but when I initially was doing the white and orange wire removal, I forgot to unplug the charger so it was going too when all of this was happening. I have it disconnected now but still having the same problem. Is the hot on the clear piece normal? I wouldn't think so and the cart still does nothing when I try to reconnect it and push the gas.

It looks like you have the motor wired correctly.

When disconnecting the batteries, disconnect the negative first then the positive. To reconnect its the opposite; positive first then the negative.

Sorry, I'm not that good a trouble shooter - yet, so I can't help with the rest.

Do you have a digital Volt meter if not go get one .

Yes i do. when I test each end of the yellow wire without the resistor piece in the middle, I get 25 or so. The problem is, I have no idea what is normal or what to start troubleshooting.

It only appears to be getting hot when I put the F/R switch in F.

Any ideas are appreciated.

The cart worked fine before this fiasco.

I know little to nothing about Precedent carts, However I do know that for carts
with factory wiring reverse is only 50% of forward , this may account for the
Forward heat issue !
