Welcome!
Check this thread out. A bit down the thread is an 89 wire diagram...that should get you close to the problem. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/ezgo-...iagram-id.html |

Re: step on gas and nothing happens
this happened to me when i first got my golf cart. when you step on the pedal, do you hear a click sound or anything? If not, check your grounds clean up all the connections, and take a multimeter and check the microswitch, which is screwed into about the center of the firewall towards the bottom half, there's 2 wires hooked to it. If your getting an open from the voltmeter than the switch could be junked...they're real cheap.
if you don't have a multimeter you can take the switch out and touch the wires together and if it was only the switch that's nasty, the motor should turn over...than your one step closer to bombing around. hope this helps a little. |
