2003 Club Car won't run after installing lift kit
I have a 2003 club car that I just installed a jakes 6 inch lift kit.
I replaced the rear shocks and leaf springs with 4 leaf springs. while I was installing the rear lift, the axle/motor fell down. I didn't notice that any wires broke or became disconnected, but they were tight. Now,after I completed the lift kit when I tried to move the cart (after charging the batteries overnight), the solenoid in the back clicks , but the cart doesn't move.My plan is to check battery voltage and re check all connections. I was wondering if anyone has any additional suggestions.. This is also the first time I have tried to run the cart after storing all winter in Michigan. Batteries are 7 years old. would a bad battery still charge on the charger and cause these symotoms? Thanks |

welcome, pull tug all cables make sure one didn,t come loose it only takes one, as for the batteries yes a bad battery will stop the cart cold so check voltage and again after you charge the pack....................

Re: 2003 Club Car won't run after installing lift kit
I just checked the battery voltage and read 49.2 Volts across all batteries.
two of the batteries read 8.02V. I re-checked all connections and pulled on all of the wires to make sure there wasn't a loose connection. The cart still doesn't move, forward or reverse. The reverse alarm comes on when switched to reverse. The solenoid in the back clicks and after a few seconds , it clicks again. I did notice that it seemed to just very slightly move before the solenoid clicked off. I'm guessing the solenoid is turning on and then off. I have the charger on and will check voltage again after it runs its cycle. Is 49 volts sufficient voltage? Should I check the voltage while press the run pedal (under load)?? I appreciate any suggestions |

Check the wires to the motor. Could you have yanked one and broke it internally when lowering the rear. That would be my guess?

Re: 2003 Club Car won't run after installing lift kit
I just remembered something, when I first hooked up the battery cables, I only had the cable from the FNR switch. I tried ruinning the charger, Then I noticed andhooked up the cable to the solenoid. did I do any damage here?
