Cart wants to do a burnout
So, this is my new problem. Cart is a '99 Club Car DS (Series) 48v. For those of you following the other thread about the solenoid resistor getting hot, the cart will now move (resistor is still left off at this point). However the cart wants to take off at what feels like full power when I just barely touch the pedal. It actually left burn marks on my garage floor lol. I'm guessing it's probably a bad controller, but is there a way I can check it and make sure?

Re: Cart wants to do a burnout
Either a bad controller or bad throttle controller

Re: Cart wants to do a burnout
It is possible you have the throttle input mismatched to the control. If one is volts and the other is ohms. or the signal is reversed? when you push the gas further down does the cart slow? just a thought. maybe a program issue

I also checked the resistance between the yellow and green wires that plug onto the controller. From what I understand, these come from the V-glide unit. I got several steps of readings as I depressed the pedal. I had the meter on the 20K setting. 5.63 (Pedal up completely) 4.73 3.95 3.05 2.05 1.01 0.00 (Pedal down completely) So, I'm assuming it must be the controller?? If it is, where is a good place to get either a new or remanufactured unit? I'm not really looking for something high performance, just something economical to get the cart going again. Thanks again for all the help so far. |

Re: Cart wants to do a burnout
I can say this, if the cart moves F&R then the controller is probably still good. But it could be a mismatch with your throttle signal if you have never seen this controller work correctly in this cart or somebody has recently tried to reprogram it.
The cheapest controller I can get you is the one in your cart right now - LOL |

Based on your first comment, I read the last thread and noticed this part:

Edit: I added pics. The pic with the rusty bolts is just to show how bad they looked when I got the cart. Also, ignore the resistor on the solenoid, it's not on there now. Last edited by tws31; 01-28-2014 at 07:57 PM.. Reason: Pics |

Re: Cart wants to do a burnout
Pictures all look correct. Do you have continuity between m- and b- with the controller not activated?

Re: Cart wants to do a burnout
I just went out and checked. The meter shows some resistance when set to any of the ohm settings. If I put it on the continuity setting it does make the meter beep. I checked it with all wires still connected, key off, and in neutral. Is this the right way, or should I disconnect the wires from these terminals?
