1985 Club Car service/operate switch operation?
1985 DS Club Car that will ONLY operate with the operate/service switch in the service position. Oil light stays on, which makes me concerned about damaging motor. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: 1985 Club Car service/operate switch operation?
When you say "service switch" are you referring to the maintenance mode cam on the backside of the shifter? In maintenance mode it will only run in neutral. Is that what yours is doing?
I'm assuming you checked the oil. Is the cart lifted? |

Re: 1985 Club Car service/operate switch operation?
For some odd reason, I have an Illustrated Parts List for an 84/85 DS...
The Wiring diagram shows a toggle switch for the Service/Run mode, And an "oil alert unit" which ties into to... (#1) oil sending unit... (#2) ground... (#3) reverse micro, tied with (I'm guessing) the start circuit micro. (#4) oil light, tied with the electric fuel pump. It's defiantly different from what we're all used to! All I know is... I don't have an answer! |

Re: 1985 Club Car service/operate switch operation?
My 1985 has a service switch. As far as your issues, I had the same issue where it would only run in service mode.
All I did was the normal tune up, i.e. changed fuel filter, some fuel line, oil, spark plug and what not and it worked. The light will stay on when the toggle switch is switched into "service mode". I believe it says that right one the switch somewhere. I hope this helps. |

Looking at the schematic and given the indications, I would first look at the oil sending unit sending a false signal if your oil level is adequate.

The switch on mine is located under seat to the rear of cart on body frame. I have checked oil, it is full. It says service in one position and operate in the other position. Cart acts like it is turned off when it is in the operate position.

Re: 1985 Club Car service/operate switch operation?
Yes it does say that the oil light will stay on when In the service position. But with mine in the operate position the cart acts like it is disconnected from power, it wont even try to turnover or make any switching sounds , just like it had no 12vts? It has plenty of oil.
