Re: 1986 ez go marathon
if you are stating that the resistors are getting hot ... that is what they are designed to do

Re: 1986 ez go marathon
The 4 wires hooked up to the resistor get hot enough to smoke. That's not normal is it?

Re: 1986 ez go marathon
The wires were already there. They look a little smaller than the battery cables, they are old though

Re: 1986 ez go marathon
What should I use to clean the contacts and the speed switch wiper? I changed all the wires going to the resistor to 4 gauge. Those wires and a couple of the battery wires still get hot enough to melt, that's after a short ride. All battery cables and wires between the resistor and the switchboard are tight

Re: 1986 ez go marathon
Ultra-fine sand paper or scotchbrite should work.
