96 ezgo
i recently bought a 96 ez go 36v ($300.)
it needed a new steering rack. (ive replaced that $40.) it needed a charger (ive got that now $50.) the batts were made in aprl 04 and wouldnt kick on the powerwise charger but would take a charge off of a 12v car charger. the charge would only last a bout 5 to 10 mins. so i bought new batts yesterday put them on and the cart wont budge. the charger will kick on now. i had it charge all last night and nothing is diffrent this morning. any help is greatly apricated |

YEP! A meter is a quintessential neccessity for every Sparkie owner.... second is the hydrometer and or a cheap loadtester such as HF sells. We await your test results.....

Re: 96 ezgo
38.7 is a VERY full charge....Check the microswitch at the F&R switch it should have power in and power out when the cart is put in gear with the key on? It will have a little audible click.....if it has continuity then proceed to the solenoid.
With the cart on jack stands ..... put a jumper cable across the 2 large terminals on the solenoid. If the cart works remove the cable and replace the solenoid. Do not run with the jumper on! |

Re: 96 ezgo
It's quite evident that the controller is completely fried... Look at the pictures - the casing is melted!
Also, the reed switch wire is not hooked up - It is the wire (small) coming from the DC plug recepticle... It goes to the F/R microswitch |
