No power to the wheels

gerrypeachtree · 03-03-2013, 12:28 PM

I have a 2004 TXT electric its no longer getting much power to the wheels. If I press the accelerator down from a standing position, the motor vibrates and the cart barely moves. If I slowly depress the accelerator, the cart will slowly gain speed but top speed is significantly less then usual. Happens in both forward and reverse. Looking for some thought on how big a job this might be.

Have you made any changes to the cart? If not, I would check every little connection on the cart, I had this happen once and it was nothing more than a burned connection.. I bet teh problem is not as big of a deal as you think.. hope this helps..

I rechecked and cleaned all the battery connections and other wires attached to the batteries and inspected other connections which looked ok. I will re inspect. when this first happend I was using the cart and had no issue, went to move it and it presented itself. I haven't made any modifications to the cart

What is the battery pack voltage at rest?
What is the battery pack voltage when cart is trying to move?
