Which Speed Control Module Do I Have?

[m_l_chandler]

This is my first EZ-GO golf cart. The manufacture code on the passenger side glove box reads "C3097". The best I can tell it is a 1997 TXT. Currently it does not go at all and I'm in the process of trouble shooting it. I think it is the speed control module but I'm not sure. If I need to replace it which one should I buy? The current module has "P281523" on it but nothing else. It has three lugs (M1, B-, B+) and a six pin connector with 5 pins. What is the amp rating for this module? Is this a non-DCS cart? The cart has a lift and off-road tires, should the module be upgraded?

The last 2 numbers of the manufactures code is the year, located inside the passenger side glove box, the 2004 and newer ezgos dont have a serial number plate in the box, they have a serial number sticker under the rear access panel behind the seat, and then on the driverside frame rail below the floor board, stay away from 96-97 DCS carts, there is a a reason they only built them for a short time,

DCS will have a F&R lever behind the driver's knee and a run/tow switch on the enviromental cover on the controller. The backside of the f&R looks round like a hockey puck.

PDS carts will have a Tow/Run switch with toggle switch for F&R on the dash

SERIES carts will have a shift lever like the dcs cart down by your legs, but it will NOT have a tow/run switch. Also the actual F&R switch is in the corner by the controller and there is linkage from it to the lever in the center.....

My cart has a serial number above the manufacture code in the passenger side glove box. From your description it must be a SERIES cart because it does not have a run/tow switch and the F&R switch is in the corner by the controller and there is a linkage from it to the lever in the center.

Is there any way to determine the amp rating of the current controller?

275 was pretty standard

You need a 400 amp controller or bigger
