could be a loose conection. defintitly needs cleaned. looking at your other post. my guess would be that there is more power being drawn from that lug as you have 4 8volt batterys and 2 6volts. just a guess though. love the cart

Ty! Yeah it was nasty and loose I just replaced the 6's with 8'....and she's quick! Think I'm going to replace the wires next and clean electric system up. Any suggestions on wire gage and place that's reasonable ?

Use 4ga wire. You can buy them from Carts Unlimited

Once again dont let a lower price point sway you. All cables are not made equal. The money spent up front will save you in the long run. A good set of cables should be the last set you buy.

Any time you see that kind of corrosion, the entire cable assembly needs to be replaced, cleaning the connections or replacing the lug will not have a long lasting effect.

Thanks ... yeah the wire is not flexible anymore and makes cracking noise when I move it ... its old and shot! Carts offers a kit for $250 does this seem high?

No but you need to determine if your cart still has the OBC, what type of solenoid/contactor system it has and what FNR switch
