Re: Rxv no go
Total BS! I dont even disconnect batts. I turn key off & put in "tow" before unplugging brake. But, it is easy to ruin the brake by overtightening the 3 bolts.

Re: Rxv no go
I'm with cg on this one. BS.. Switching to Tow is a good idea but as long as that brake isn't energized other than over tightening the bolts you really can't do it "wrong". You need to find another shop.. So if you did it wrong did them replacing the brake again fix it? If so, they sold you a bad brake to begin with.

Re: Rxv no go
OK, they verified that the brake is fine, as we knew. They have changed key switch, solenoid, tested the pedals, and the resistor. Still no go. They are now trying a new controller, waiting to hear back from them this afternoon. The diagnostic computer told them there was a key switch malfunction. This is the only ezgo shop in town that has a scan tool that I know of

Re: Rxv no go
I'm leaning toward a acid damaged wire harness. The keyswitch rarely fails, most of those errors i have seen had nothing to do with a keyswitch, but plenty of bubbles come out of the harness when baking-soda-water was poured on. I hope the repair shop isnt charging you for a lot of time & parts for their "parts swap experient".

Re: Rxv no go
Cg, I have made it clear to them that the past week and a half of throwing parts at it shouldn't be considered "diagnostic time" if they could not diagnose and treat the problem at hand. I am less than pleased with the cart from day 2 as is. If I can get this rxv running again that I will have approximately 6500$ invested in about 9 months time , I probably should drive the ****** in the river and use it as a fish haven.

Re: Rxv no go
Sorry you are having trouble with your ride.
It seems like the problem is service not the cart itself. Where are you located? Might be able to find local BGW Folks to help you out. |
