Bad Boy Buggy Problem(s) HELP!!!
Let me start by apologizing if I put this in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where to post - heard ezgo bought BBB out.
I purchased a 2008 Bad Boy buggy from a friend of mine last year. He knew NOTHING about the cart (got it free from a sponsorship in hunting TV industry) It had toasted batteries in it. I replaced them with new interstate batteries. (8-6vs) Now that it is running, there are two issues that I have noticed SO FAR. 1. The rear motor is not working (as in not pulling) Only the front wheels are pulling and I'm a CC guy, so not sure where to start. could it be a solenoid? I can hear a loud "CLICK" when I turn on the ignition. I read on another site that it could be a controller issue? If you look at my other posts you'll see that I built myself a CC DS from the ground up for hunting, so i'm somewhat inclined to certain generic golf cart issues, but I've never fooled with an EZ Go, or a BBB at all. 2. The front motor sounds like its grinding when you are coasting. What could that be? Need sent off and re-worked? Its pulling, just sounds like a dried up bearing-type-situation. I've heard tell that BBB are terrible to work on, but for the price I got this one, i'm willing to get it running if theres hope for it! Anyone know where to start?????? |

Does your have separate controllers and motors for the front and rear?
Or does it have one motor and a drive shaft to the front? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Bad Boy Buggy Problem(s) HELP!!!
I have a 05 or 06, still not sure, BBB. From looking at the wiring in it (won't be there much longer) there is a separate solenoid to activate the front motor. Mine has a dead controller so I don't really know how its supposed to work.
I would test for voltage at the rear motor and go from there. Mine uses a sw202 reversing contactor for both motors then the second contactor to activate the front motor. So to me it sounds like a bad motor in the rear. Frist thing: check to see it the rear motor is getting any voltage. If you have voltage it could be bad brushes or a toasted motor. Second: if no voltage to motor, check both contactors, yours is very likely wired different than mine. On my project BBB the motors are good and I will scrap the wiring harness and make a new one. I am going to use two controllers one for each motor so I can have front, rear, or 4 wheel drive. I will try to make some notes about the original harness when I take it out if it will help you. It will be at least a week before I pull the old harness. |
