Cart won't run..
My cart was running ok, slow but batteries were old . When it was shut down the last time it never could be started again, bought new batteries and still nothing, not even a back-up tone. I am thinking the switch , but not sure. any ideas will be greatly appreciated. It is Marathon cart

Re: Cart won't run..
Check all battery cables and connections. Give each one a firm tug.
Check voltage at charge receptacle on cart? What is it? Check individual battery voltages. What are they? Determine if you have a Marathon resistor or Marathon controller cart and then... Locate appropriate wiring diagram from Sticky's at top of first page and trace each connection and verify. |

Re: Cart won't run..
If it has a metal cover over some coil looking things between the batteries toward the back it's resistor cart.
Those things you don't want to touch shortly after driving. |

Re: Cart won't run..
looks to be the controller cart. each battery has approx 6.4 volts and a total of 42 volts total, Still nothing.

Re: Cart won't run..
Does a Marathon cart have a Reed switch?
