Default Throttle jerking

My 36 volt ezgo with upgraded alltrax controller has started jerking when pressing the throttle lightly. Any idea what's wrong?

Look at post #19 on this thread and look how JohnnieB has his throttle set up on the toolkit.

When I upgraded my controller on my 36v cart I played around and settled in with something like Johnnie has and mine takes off smooth now.

Did it start right after the Alltrax install?

You should also check the molex connector. It’s the white 4 wire connector running from the controller towards the f/r.

Have you recently washed the cart or any water get into the floorboard? If moisture gets into the box where the throttle is, it can play havoc with the signal.

No, the Alltrax has been on it for a year. And yes I washed the cart last weekend.

Is it a series cart?

Did it start having problems right after you washed it?

Did you locate the molex connector?

The throttle assembly is in a box under the floor mat. I’d cut the molex out and solder the wires together, then cover it with marine grade heat shrink. If that connector isn’t causing your current problem, it might in the future.

Good to know, something else to put on my list of things to do to our cart.

Thanks

If you’re not ready to cut it out and solder the connections, you can butt splice them too. At a minimum, pull it apart, spray some contact cleaner, and plug-replug multiple times.

I disconnected the battery and opened up the throttle box to take a look. It looked dry inside. I put it back together and hooked the batteries back up and now it does nothing when a push the throttle. It is clicking when I turn the key on and the controller isn't showing any error codes. Battery voltage is 40.3.

No it's not a series. It has the xct400pds.
