Onward Lithium tail lights always on
Just realized two days ago after walking up to the cart in the dark. The tail lights are lit up 24/7. Dealer is looking into it but no solution found yet.
Anyone have the same experience and a resolution? |

Re: Onward Lithium tail lights always on
I've encountered a similar situation with the taillights being on all the time and it ended up being the turn signal assembly was shorted. I replaced and the problem went away.

Re: Onward Lithium tail lights always on
Dealership states that Club Car engineering is working on this issue. Apparently may be a VCM fix. Sounds like firmware to me. Might be a while.

Re: Onward Lithium tail lights always on
Are they fully lit or dimly lit? Are they LED?

Re: Onward Lithium tail lights always on
These are LED. Dimly lit. I live in the Hill Country and one night walking up to the house I could see the cart lights on. Thought I left the ignition on.

Re: Onward Lithium tail lights always on
The interior LED's in my Chevy truck have a very slight glow all the time as well. Maybe some weird parasitic draw (I have never found it) but I did notice it after I changed out the regular bulbs to LED. Do you have a regular bulb that you could try and see if it glows as well?

Re: Onward Lithium tail lights always on
I would measure the current draw on the cart with the key off. Led's dimly lit draw almost no current to speak of. My voltage reducer is always powered by the main battery but it has a "trigger" signal that goes to the ignition switch that shuts it down when the switch is off. I have not measured the current drain when it's off but I am sure it's negligable.

Re: Onward Lithium tail lights always on
The tail lights are integrated units so no way to change out to incandescent.
Being lithium I have no way to get to a battery lead to check amp draw. |

Re: Onward Lithium tail lights always on
Lithium does not do away with battery leads; they still attach at the power point.
