2012 RXV won't move

Daggers · 03-10-2018, 12:10 PM

Here's the issue, my cart will only move sporadically. I can hear the solinoid switching when I turn the key. When I put the cart in tow mode the motor brake releases, otherwise it stays locked. The batteries are fully charged to 52V, all connections are tight. I believe I have a Curtis controller.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it moves or not. I'm a loooog way from any dealers so I'm kinda on my own.
Any help would be appreciated thanks

Pull up on both pedal while the key is on. By up, I mean towards the "at rest position".

Thanks I'll try this when I get home, if my luck holds it will be moving again tonight. Is this trouble shooting the accelerator position and brake sensor So?

Yep, Rxv is very picky about both pedals being at "zero position" when the system starts up..

Thanks that seems to be the issue. Still can’t be certain which pedal is the issue. When I have more time to, I will diagnose further. Is there a fix, pulling back on the pedals would be ok fo me my wife will say otherwise. Lol.

Open up pedal area, remove the golf course worth of grass. Shim the spring on the throttle pedal for a little more pressure. I put a piece of fuel line on the exposed end of the torsion spring.

As I bought the cart from an auction I had already cleaned out all the “junk” out of the compartment. But I will shim it up and hopefully that will be that. Thanks for your help
BTW I really enjoy your help to all the posters

Thanks. Good luck on the pedal. Also be sure no extra floor mats or added carpets are interfering.
