Tomberlin Help

[Rxpman18]

Hi I have a tomberlin emerge 500 2010 and is a 2 seater. I bought it from a salvage auction and it was flooded. The cart needed a new power fuse in the fuse box and when I plugged it in the dash went on and I can't get it to turn off. They didn't have a key for it so I had I hot wire it and I can't get the thing to turn on. The controller status light blinks amber too. It blinks once and then twice and stops. The batteries are charging fine and the charger works great I can't get the thing to go forward or back and also I can't get any front lights to work. I would really appreciate some help with this cart. If you have anything for me to check please post it even if it sounds stupid. Anything will help. Thanks

The flash you are getting from the control box is a speed sensor fault. the speed sensor is located on the end cap of motor(black with 3 wires and a quick connect plug. As far as the dash lights not going out it sound like the 48v small contactor for the 12v system is shorted stuck in the closed position. If it has been in water I would order a new main harness they are notorious for harness problems anyway. Sound like it is nothing to serious... If you have any question email dm7876@yahoo.com. I was a factory Tomberlin Tech but now I'm doing my own thing. Also if you need parts I can get them for you.

Thanks,
Bluestone

looking at the tomberlin manual...a controller signal of 1 blink then 2 blinks...looks like code meaning... The sliding signal of accelerator is
outside the scope....not a speed sensor failure...could somebody please confirm.

The sliding signal of accelerator is
outside the scope...anybody know how to fix this..thanks

You can try to call Erick at Palmetto Carts, I know his "Teck" is very good and maybe he can help you out. He is a Tomberlin dealer in Charleston SC 843-881-9877

I called this company and was told they had never heard of a sliding signal of accelerator. Guess i'll try somepace else.

They moved it from the plate wher the DC reducer is to inside the controller cover..

Can you tell me where you purchased the accelarator assy? I need one for a 2007 E-merge.

Bluestone where are u located. I have a 09 emerge 400 that's been at a tomberline service center shop for over a yr and they still haven't got it running. They are just working on it when they can and I believe this was a mistake on my part taking it there. Time to switch to someone that can get it going. It powers up and all w solenoid click but no go. I replaced key switch, f&r switch,hall effect switch,new solenoid,rebuilt controller,cleaned brushes on motor,new speed sensor.

Wow... and it's still not running? I would recommend to troubleshoot with a Curtis service handset. You'll be able to read stored fault codes and get realtime monitoring of all components. There are some offers for rent (~ 30$/month). A good shop should be able to do the same.
