Default Re: 2001 installed new mcor, now wont do anything

ok, so when i lifted up the seat to check the batteries, i saw that the 2 batteries on the steering wheel side have some corroded connections (blue ick all around it). also, i would occasionally hear a noise that sounded kind of like static, and i wasn't touching anything or moving the cart, etc. that only happened a couple times. does that give any more clues?

ya'll rock - thanks so much :)

Yes it does,you need to clean the battery cables.If you have a tow/run switch put it in tow and disconect the main cables,take the cables off and clean the battery posts with a wire brush. if the cables look bad get a new set.make sure you cant move the eyes on the main terminal easy with you r finger.If yo can that eyelet needs replacing.You have batteries arking because of loose cables.

That should be the first thing you check.

when i took out the old mcor, the rod that sticks into fell out and i did not see how or where the other end of the rod connected. now that i installed the new mcor, the rod has some play to it (pulls in and out a couple centimeters) and i'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be the case? i cannot find any diagrams that show how the rod is supposed to be hooked up tho.

thank you all again :)
If you tested the batteries earlier , DID U not notice thos big green lumpy things on the battery cable/connectors until now

it would make sense that that cleaning the corrosion would have been the 1st thing done, but i am the first to tell you we never make sense :)

so i cleaned all the corrosion and tightened everything up. i put the old mcor back on and at least it is back to running badly. so now i have to try and exchange the new mcor that doesn't work, but i have a 2 hour drive to get the part so i dont know when that will happen.

thanks everyone for all your help!! :)

i really know very little, thank you for being so patient :)
This is true. Club Car only has 2 MCOR units. One for the DS, and one for the Precedent. If the drive bar fits the MCOR, it's the right one. The precedent one will not fit your car, and even if it did, it would work. All the internals are the same.

K , so now since we are at the beginning,
1. When U take the old MCOR back , get a digital Volt meter .
2. Check Battery water levels , fill to 1/2" above plates (distilled water only)
3. Put the cart on the charger and allow it to complete it's charge cycle .
4. Wait 1 hour after charge completes then with your new Digital Volt meter
measure each battery, then entire pack ,
5. POST results here !

Default Re: 2001 installed new mcor, now wont do anything

i would like some opinions please -

assuming my batteries are fine, what else could cause the 'catching' or 'jerking' when i press the gas pedal? it does it in both forward and reverse. it seems to have a good bit of speed until it stops/jerks, then i have to press the gas pedal again to get it to go again. the cart runs jerky w/ the original mcor installed, but when i installed the brand new mcor i got absolutely nothing.

is there a way to tell if it is the mcor or the controller causing the problem?
