Another charging issue

[texasvenom]

Where do I need to run a wire from for the sensing wire?

I did see the wiring diagram but I am not an expert in wiring schematics for these carts so I still don't know where it would go, again thanks for all the help.

Just removing the insulating sleeve from the negative terminal on the charge port ought to do the trick.

See attached picture. The negative terminal is circled.

If that doesn't work, you may have to move a wire inside the charger, but try removing the insulating sleeve first.

Those two circuits often get confused, but are entirely separate circuits even though they both originate in the charge receptacle.

A reed switch is not need for the cart to run.

I stand corrected.....thanks Johnnie.....but I KNEW there was something wrong in the pictures....I just had my head in the wrong place at the moment and couldn't see the light!! LOL

I removed the sleeve on negative side, plugged in charger and it did click once but nothing else. I forgot to mention earlier but the cart does operate normally (forward and reverse).

i know the shop said charger was good but with that miss wiring i would test the charger out ...
here is a video of some tests

The Auxiliary contract might have gotten flattened by the sleeve on the negative terminal.

Try wiggling it around some to see if you can hear the relay click some more, the charger does not have to be plugged into an AC outlet.

Ok I have it figured out. After checking the voltage going into the charging port, it was not the same going out to the charger. From a burn mark on the battery, looks like there may have been burned wiring before I got the cart and the connectors probably got over heated thus is not allowing full transfer. I took off the female ends coming from the cart and screwed them directly into the ones coming from the charger and it started charging. I never would have thought of them connectors going bad. Thanks for all the help.
