unidentified button

[rbul1]

I have recently acquired an EZGO PDS cart and am still learning about it.

I see a button on the vertical panel at the seat front, pretty much centered in the panel.

It looks as though it could be a horn button but produces no result, also everything I read talks about floor buttons for horns.

Can you tell me what this button was intended to be?

rbul1,

Typically what you are describing is a plastic plug installed from inside the body. Raise the seat and see if there is anything but a black plastic plug there. If there is, follow the wires as someone could have installed some sort of momentary switch or light switch. Strange, but it could happen.

Good luck!

The same body is used for Series and PDS carts and the direction selector lever for a Series cart protrudes through a hole in the body by the driver's right knee. The direction selector for a PDS cart is a Rocker switch on the dash next to the keyswitch and the hole by the driver's knee has a rubber plug in it.

Some PDS owners remove the plug and install a lighter outlet, or a switch for some purpose or other, in the hole.

If there is something other than a blank plug in the hole, it is something a previous owner has added and about the only way to find out its purpose, is to trace the wires to wherever they go to.

New to carting and have been wondering what that plug was for. Sure would be a great location for some kind of switch in the future.

My vote is plug filling the FWD/REV lever hole on a PDS cart. It is the current location of my auxiliary stereo input. I found a 3.5mm socket to RCA adapter that fit perfectly. Since the amp is under the seat, the wiring was convenient as well.
