newbie to golf carts
so i just got a 1999 electric club car given to me first thing i need to do is get it to run then ill worry bout modifying it right now the issue is it goes no where key is on position and in forward position on the switch press down on the go pedal and i hear a click and cart rocks forward but doesn't move any ideas the cart was bought by a friend of mine he used it for the last few yrs so i know it did run at one time but has sitting in his garage for a few months untouched

Re: newbie to golf carts
Dead batteries. Either no juice in them or they are toast and need replaced. I assume you have checked for water in them, have good cables / connections and have them fully charged?

Re: newbie to golf carts

Re: newbie to golf carts
did you take voltage breadings from batts, if not do so take voltage readings write them down and than load test each one write #,s down under load.....if all shows ok you can jack the rear of cart up and put a jumper wire to both large post on solenoid turn key on put in gear and press pedal.......if cart runs than solenoid could be bad start there and post what you find we can go from there.....................................

Re: newbie to golf carts
the 2nd solenoid is for the reagan braking so you have a reagan cart........reagan braking is sorta like a jake brake for trucks.......once you get to a set speed it kicks in so you can,t go faster and for downhill its a safety feature so you don,t lose control........its a C.C.....................................
