precedent dead in the garage

1970buick · 01-20-2013, 04:02 PM

Last weekend I drove the cart and all was well. I accidentally left the key in the ON position and in run mode all week. I could not get the cart to move and the reverse buzzer would not buzz. I checked the ignition with my voltmeter and no power. I checked the batteries and they were all at or around 15 volts. What would I check next? I am frustrated. I also replaced the cables while I was at it today and cleaned the corrosion of the posts.

What is the voltage across the pack?

1970buick · 01-20-2013, 06:35 PM

Voltage is close to 60

Yeah, my thoughts.

1970buick,
We need some more info to try and help you. ( At least I know I do).
What year of cart?
Is it 48V?
4 12v batt's or 6 8v batt's?

That 60volts sounds really high across the battery pack. I normally see somewhere around 51-53 volts on my 6 - 8volts.

HI, 2008.5 precedent w/ 4 12 volt batteries. It is 52 volts right now, my volt meter was reading to high (chinese crap). Is there a fuse somewhere I could check?

Do you have a schematic of the wiring? I would double check all my cables and make sure that the small red wire is also connected to the + side of your first battery I believe but I'm sure TDawg will see this and help you out if not send him a PM he will take care of you

thanks! I am going to try and reset the obc tonight and see if that does anything

I tried the OBC resetting procedure and still nothing...no buzzer. I hooked up the charger and it is charging fine. What would I check next? Solenoid? I think I would still have reverse buzzer and power at the ignition with a bad solenoid...

Have you just tried the cart in reverse? Sometimes those precedents switches will stick in forward or reverse, and not trying to be a dick but make sure u didn't accidentally hit the run switch back into tow mode... I've do e this many times while working on them an just forgot to put it back into run!
