How can I bypass the DC relay that cuts the charger off on my 1997 club car?

I know I will have to watch the charging of the cart closley because of overload and overcharging concerns.

The problem is: I have installed a new OBC and the cart will still not charge. The charger comes on in the calibration phase for about 30 seconds. It then kicks off as it should, but it never kicks back on to charge the batteries. I know the batteries are not fully charged. They are putting out about 49 volts. That should be low enough to run the charger.

I can hear the relay kick in and out if I plug the charger into the cart before even plugging the outlet end of the charger into the 110V outlet. If this happens before I plug the charger into the 110V outlet it never even comes on for the initial calibration phase.

I want to charge the batteries temporarily for my grandkids. I have another new OBC ordered. I sure hope there is not another problem beside the OBC causing this situation.

And yes, The charger worked great for about 2 years and still works on another cart I checked it on last week. I have new batteries, new cables, everything is clean and tight and ALL fuses are OK. yes, even the one on the recpetical for the charger.

Any IDEAS????????????

I would greatly appreciate any help guys.
