Question “Wet” Cart

Hello again,

Saw a post for a 2013 Precedent with new batteries that won’t move because it got wet. I have torn apart a DS and 2 precedents and as far as I know it’s very hard to get water into the controller cabin. If this did indeed get wet, what components could have been taken out? It’s a smoking deal and I wish I was more confident with the multimeter to check out what is and isn’t getting power to eliminate possible suspects. Any help along those lines as well? Thanks!

Splashing water will not cause any damage other that erroneous input signals to the controller.

The usual culprits are the "low current signals" like:
FNR switch itself.
Controller 16-pin connector input wires.
You can usually just use a blower on those 2 areas if the cart stopped working after you washed it.

If it's a "smoking deal" I'd say go ahead and get it. You can always get help here to fix it and it would not have hurt the new batteries to get a dunking.

I would ask how it got "wet" it might be a flood cart from one of the hurricanes in Houston, or Florida this year. Which might mean it was submerged in Salt water. Don't get me wrong $1350, still sounds like a good deal. I would just want to know if it was salt water.

Ok guys, I'm gonna go check it out this weekend. Is there a nice link somebody can put here directing me on how to test the key switch, solenoid, controller, and motor with a multi-meter to see if they are receiving proper power? It's about an hour away and I want to arm myself with what could be the culprit if it doesn't move.
