EZ GO resistor coil
Does a resistor coil have to be broke (severed) to be bad? Tried a new cart repair guy today who told me mine is bad. Removed the cover and it is all in tact....? 1987 36V EZGO
thanks |

Re: EZ GO resistor coil
It only needs one break to not work, do you have any pics of it post them, that would tell the story

Re: EZ GO resistor coil
Unless the resistors physically broken, simply looking at them, it's pretty hard to tell if they are any good. Putting a meter across the resistors will tell you instantly if you have continuity. You won't really know the integrity of the connections until you put some amperage across them.

Re: EZ GO resistor coil
there is continuity (beep) between each terminal or should I be looking for a number on the meter? 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4
Thanks for your reply and Happy New Year. |

Re: EZ GO resistor coil
A coil cold may read on the meter but at the instance of current will heat and go open.

Re: EZ GO resistor coil
A coil can make a bad contact where the mounting bolts go through it. All the years of hot, cold, hot, cold....might wanna unbolt, clean and put it back together. I've seen that happen.
