Body change = no charge

crunch1 · 07-09-2010, 11:22 PM

I changed out the body on my 06 ds with 4 12 vot batterys. After all was done I plugged in charger and nothing, tried different charger same results. Found small 3/8 amp fuse in yellow holder blown. I had disconnected the red battery lead before starting. Don't know if fuse was blown at this time. I have checked as much wiring as I can think of all appears to be where it should be. I did not have run/tow switch in tow while disconnecting or connecting.
Any thoughts on what may have happened?

Could really use some advice here guys. Cart appears to run ok .

Replace that 3/8ths amp fuse with an identical fuse, it protects the OBC. No telling what happened, a 3/8th fuse is easy to melt.
The charger should work once it is replaced.

Question--did you run ground cable through OBC, if not OBC can't see batterys and wont turn charger on. Also did you reconnect plus wire from charger receptical back onto #1 battery plus or solenoid? JUST SOME THOUGHTS?

Replaced bad fuse and all is well. I most likley shorted the charge recepticle or ? in the process, before removing positive lead.
Thanks for the responce, must learn to keep fat fingers from doing bad things
