Club car goes 1 ft and stops

48v Club car #PH1231-297518

Put the cart in forward, it goes for approx 1 foot (with a shake to it) then stops.
Put it in reverse and same thing, it goes for about a foot and stops.

Any thoughts on where to start?

What is the pack voltage?

9 years old, either needs batteries or I'm leaning toward brushes if batteries are good.
Try to include a little more info, cable condition, corrosion? anything so it's not a guessing game, pictures?

Sounds to me like batteries. Start there....Do a full charge and let rest for a few hours. Post pack voltage AND individual battery volts (with decimal 6.45v). That'll tell us something.

[spillwaysportsman]

Battery#1-8.27v
Battery#2-5.29v
Battery#3-8.27v
Battery#4-8.27v
Battery#5-8.25v
Battery#6-8.22v
Pack voltage @ neutral-46.5v
Batteries are from August of 2015.

Obviously sounds like replacing batteries will fix the issue. Is there anyway to text motor or controller with the information I’ve given?

put new or good used battery to replace #2

The solenoid might be bad and just running until the caps discharge. Try jumping the solenoid large posts with a battery jumper cable.

There's your answer....you must understand that your batteries are at the end of their life. You can find a used battery to replace #2 to get you by, but you are only postponing the fact that a new set is in your near future. All others will be failing soon.
