Welcome to BGW!

1. Unplug the charger from 120AC power.
2. While listening carefully, plug the charging plug up to the cart. Do you hear a "click"?
If so then your charger is more than likely fine. If it doesn't click then your board is fried, probably the relay on the board. Buy a new relay board.


If it clicks then you need to check ALL of your connections and make sure they are clean and tight, check the charge plug and receptacle contacts and make sure the batteries have the proper electrolyte level. If you verify all of this is good then your batteries might be shot. Can you try another charger?

I will check it out tonight, I can use another charger from a friend to check it, if board is fried where can a person get parts for this charger?

Just about any of the site sponsors can get you the board. They are a common item.
