Gas club car ds won't start after key switch arced

Keithsetzer · 10-02-2018, 08:30 PM

2001 club car ds will not start after i removed the panel that the key switch is on and it arced while removing the plastic panel.

I was removing the plastic panel to hook up an accessory to the key switch. It arced while trying to work it out of the dash., i proceeded to hook up the accessories and then noticed it didn't have any power when i turned the key on. So then i tried to start the cart. I get nothing when pushing the pedal.

Im not sure what my have broke. Keyswitch? A relay somewhere or a fuse? Any help would be great!

I realize now that i should have disconnected the battery before doing anything else! Ooops

there is a fuse mine has one by the switch box for the shifter.
HAHAHA, Im not allowed to post links yet, wiring diagram shows it coming from B+ cable on solenoid.

I pulled the fuse. It was busted! I don't have any to replace so, just to test the key switch i jumpered it with a wire. When turned the key switch on and pushed the gas pedal the ground cable on the starter sparks!!!! Everyth8ng is hooked back up like it was so I'm confused

the ground cable has bad connection where it sparked, remove it clean it and reinstall make sure it is tight may be loose that's why it is sparking.
