New EzGo cart and charger
Just got a new EzGo electric cart and I've noticed the charger receptacle on the cart is very sensitive and temperamental. If it's moved a hair to one side it won't charge and the charger flashes 2 times. If I wiggle the connection on the cart and move it to one side it will make a good connection and charge.
However if the cord is bumped it doesn't work. Does anyone else have a similar issue? |

Re: New EzGo cart and charger
sounds like a nice garage fire... might wanna fix that. even if it costs $300 for a whole new charge port & charger handle, im guessing itll be cheaper than the alternative. or you could minimize risk by charging it outside, so the cart may be all you lose. new ezgos have a triangle shaped 48v plug & and radsoks cannot be replaced individually, only as a whole charge port. Wait, this new cart is covered by a 3 or 4 year warranty from original sale date.

Re: New EzGo cart and charger
The receptacle contacts are a replaceable wear item. Ezgo calls them radsoks. Expect to pay about $45 for the pair. Meantime shove a cardboard shim under the plug when in the receptacle to keep it in good contact while you wait for the new parts.
Installation is simple. Remove the 3 screws in the top of the plug (under the seat) ans replace one radsok at a time. Picture for reference only |

Thanks for the info - I just need to find out if it's the charger or receptacle on the golf cart. The dealer told me he'd give me a new charger if I brought the other one in since its been just a few days.
It seems like one of the male/female connectors is being sensitive and not getting a good connection unless I hold it to the right! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
