97 Club Car Charger won't click on

skycowboy

I have a 97 CC Centennial Regen. It had been in storage for several years before I got it. I put good batteries in it and when I tried it it wouldn't go. The solenoid clicks and the backup horn sounds but nothing. When I plugged in the charger it clicks but doesn't start to charge. My charger does work on other carts.

I tried to reset the OBC and unlike the directions I received, the backup horn didn't stop after 30 seconds. I also don't appear to have a tow switch or a fuse receptacle, just an inline fuse in a yellow waterproof case,

Would a bad solenoid cause the charger from charging as well as making the cart not move? What would be the next trouble shooting steps. Thanks

Get a digital volt meter, Lowes, Harbor Freight, auto parts store.

Measure across the entire pack , a 48 Volt cart with OBC controlled charger will not come on if the pack vontage is lower than 36-38 Volts.

let it go until it stops ( the backup horn didn't stop after 30 seconds ) this is draining power off the OBC.

The horn stopped very briefly a couple of times during the 5 minutes but never stopped completley

well with the neg post disconnected , it will have to stop eventually. If it doesn't send it to NASA or me

Should I send you the whole cart or just the horn...LOL

I will try it again, these are the directions I used.

To reset the OBC the following must be done in this
order:
If no Tow/Run Switch then skip that step

• Key Switch to Off
• Forward/Reverse to Neutral
• Tow/Run Switch to Tow
• Disconnect the Battery NEGATIVE (–) wire
from the Battery Minus terminal on the battery
pack.
• Put the Tow/Run to Run
• Forward/Reverse Switch to Reverse
• Key Switch to On
• Lock the throttle pedal down
The reverse buzzer will sound and go off in about 30
seconds. Leave the cart like that for 5 min to cause the
OBC to reset.
To reconnect the OBC back into the system:
• Key Switch to Off
• Forward/Reverse Switch to Neutral
• Tow/Run switch to Tow
• Reconnect the Batt – wire to the battery minus
terminal on the battery pack.

SHould I wait for the horn to stop before I start timing the 5 minutes. Like I said it stopped momentarily a couple of times but started right back up. Should I start timing after the first time it stops?????

With the last battery in the chain disconnected , this can only last so long , the horn cannot run without electricity and having the last post on the last battery in the pack is removing voltage . Tough it out !
