Neighbor's 2013 RXV won't go...

[slashpine]

Battery pack shows 50.5 volts...can hear the solenoid click once then nothing cart won't move...
...is not my cart and am helping a neighbor...

Also this cart came with a 'Flow Rite' watering system (4/12v)...but it did not come with any way to add water...any suggestions other than getting rid of the system ?

Buy the other part of the fill system. Or even better, get rid of that and do that job yourself. A auto fill system will work great until it doesn't. And then you end up with a destroyed battery because of a super dried out cell you never knew about because "everything was going fine" as far as you knew. Or chronically overfilled cells that make messes everywhere. Best is just do it yourself.

Thanks...That is basically what I tried to explain to my (elderly) neighbor...

About the no go issues...it was parked and sat for several weeks...seems like I've read about the motor (parking) brake sticking...is there anything that can be done without a scanner etc?

Sounds like you could use a bit of help with diagnostics. Let me know if you want me to head over and bring my tools.

Thanks...We are expecting a couple days of rain so I have not been able to see if the parking brake is working etc...and whatever else I can do without a scanner...will keep you posted...

Try pulling back on the accelerator pedal. Sometimes it doesn't make it all the way back and will prevent the cart from moving.

Later today I will be getting on the road, heading for Washington DC. I'll be bringing my programming station and diagnostic handset with me. If you need me to stop by on my way out, contact me. I PMd you my contact information.
