Spawn of Satan cart won't run!
When I found out my charger was over charging my batteries I parked my cart until I could afford a charger. I finally saved enough after 8 months to get one. I charged batteries and the new charger cut off at peak as it should so I went out today to get the cart out for my 12 year old to ride. (She was so excited after 8 months of waiting) I turn the key on and press the pedal and all I get is a one click letting me know I have engaged the pedal nothing else. I am at wits end with this trouble making, disappointing, aggravating spawn of Satan POS. If not for my child I would pour gas on it and burn it while I giggled. This was her 2013 Christmas present and she has spent all of 3 hours riding the rest of the time is has been down. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Spawn of Satan cart won't run!
Do you have a test light? How good are you with DC circuits?
Start with the basics... Check, clean and tighten all connections... not just the battery connections. Make sure that you are getting power through the solenoid. Check forward/reverse switch. |

Re: Spawn of Satan cart won't run!
the fact that your solenoid circuit is activating (the CLICK) your issue is in the HIGH CURRENT circuit (the big cables).

Re: Spawn of Satan cart won't run!
Was there ever any smell of burning plastic or wires?
Make sure that you are getting voltage through the solenoid. I would really check out that forward/reverse wiper board. I have had to clean the contacts or replace the whole board more than a few times on my old 36 volt Marathon. |
