Need HELP......

Caltoon · 06-08-2008, 01:08 PM

Hi I'm new to the golf cart thing, I just picked up a 1998 yamaha cart and it was working fine until I fixed it.
I installed lights and cleaned all the battery terminels and when I put it back together I crossed the last terminal on the last battery. I guess I burned somthing out. I pulled the motor and cleaned the armiture and brushes still wont go top speed, I even tried my buddys motor and still the same. SO THEN I thought I could try the motor directly off the batterys by using a set of jumper cables now I have to push it to the shed it wont move at all. I can here the selonoid clicking but there is no power going back to the motor wires,I checked the in line 10 amp fuse and thats ok i dont have a clue what else to do (Please help I need it for camping next weak)
THANKS

Well I tryed it again. and I am makeing progress, I was able to get the motor to spin by connecting the s1 and s2 with a jumper and then connecting the
a1 and a2 with a set of battery cables going directly to the + and - off 36 volts of the battery.
But it still will not power up if I re connect it and try the gas peddle
I can here the selonid pick up but thats all that happens. any help would be greatly apprecieated. Thanks.... Rich

Welcome to BGW

PLEASE DO NOT HOOK THE MOTOR UP THAT WAY!!! You will burn it up.
Use this to test your motor. http://www.empinc.biz/tech_support.p...troller_series

What make, model cart do you have. I will try and find you a wiring diagram.

Is it a 1998 G16E?

Caltoon · 06-09-2008, 08:15 PM

Thanks for the reply. That was a one shot deal...... I figured i had already burned it up anyway. I was supprised to see it spin, I thing i burnt up the controller though thanks for the wireing diagram..

Did anything spark beside the last connection? You may be fine...you just have battery cables wired wrong.

Caltoon · 06-09-2008, 08:19 PM

Yes 1998 g16 I don't Know about (E) I guess that stands for electric

Caltoon · 06-09-2008, 08:21 PM
