HELP me with Charging Issue!
I have a 2004 ClubCar DS that has ran perfectly until a month ago when I took it to get painted.
Now it will not charge longer than 2 minutes before turning off.... Before I tell you what appears to be my final options, here's what I've done: 1) Found two battery cables that were almost rotted thru and I replaced them. 2) Found a broken wire in the charger cord itself, fixed. 3) Company I bought cart from replaced my charger with a new one anyway. 4) Rebooted the OBC many times. Now.... Company I bought the cart from (2 hours from home) took a hand held meter to diagnose the cart (they were the ones who found the two bad cables)...told me the batteries were fine and sent me on my way. Incidentally, after they did that, I stayed there and watched MY charger charge up MY cart for 25 minutes...convinced it was fixed, I left and when I got home, problems started again...could not charge for more than two minutes and the orange warning light went on. Heres my dilemma.... The dealer said they believe my OBC needs to be replaced at a four hour round trip drive, one hour wait and $194.00. Local auto shop owner who's a golfer said he thinks it's just a bad battery, I need to buy a hydrometer, find the bad battery and swap it out for a new one. I need cart fixed by Thursday...anyone here have an expert opinion? |

Dude, Get the hydrometer. Call the battery guy. Get a load test on those batteries and replace what needs replacing.... yeh you could still need an OBC... but we could jump your charger and make that tee time |

Re: HELP me with Charging Issue!
just a wild card, Ijust went thru a elec. mess on mine
Did you replace your main ground ? if so make sure you went thru the obc not around. turns out the obc knows if the cable is going thru. My charger would tun on then off 2 times. After I re-did the ground its been fine |

After that weekend, the cart went to crap. So I just GOTTA think that the painter, when he took apart the cart did something. |
