Powerdrive charger issues

dgcurtis · 07-13-2013, 01:20 PM

I have a Powerdrive charge that isn't working. I know my OBC is fine because I have two other chargers that work just fine on the cart.

I've replaced the relay in the charger but it still doesn't work. What are the next things I should look for or troubleshoot? I've searched and read all sorts of threads on bad relays but I couldn't find any "what if relay has been replaced" threads.

Thanks,

Doug

. . . relay, rectifier/diode and circuit breaker are what is typically in a rebuild kit , , price, under $35 . . .

Thanks for the info everyone. The manual definitely helps.

I was looking for rebuild kits for the PowerDrive (not 2 or 3) and the cheapest I could find was $67. The kits for the PowerDrive 2&3 are much cheaper.

Thanks again!

Even if you hear the relay click be sure you have power at the wall plug...happen to me!!!

That's for the Powerdrive 2. My charger doesn't have a bridge rectifier in it.

Thanks for looking though.
