EZGO Accelerator Microswitch: What does it do?
Question... I have a '94 Medalist 36v. The micro switch behind the accelerator linkage is present but is not mounted properly in order to make contact with anything. However, the car seems to work fine. What is the purpose of this switch?

Re: EZGO Accelerator Microswitch: What does it do?
Welcome to BGW!
The golf cart is fitted with a series of safety switches which require you to really want to go to go. Some protect people and some protect components. The pedal box ms is used to activate (close) the solenoid and to power up the controller. If it is not working it must be bypassed for the cart to run. This means the solenoid and controller are activated by the key switch or are on all the time, either way you run the risk of drastically shortening the useful life of these components. |

Post a photo, and maybe the switch can be reattached. If bent or broken, it should be replaced. It may also simply be an adjustment needed on the plunger. In any event, ScottyB is right, it should not be bypassed.

Re: EZGO Accelerator Microswitch: What does it do?
since he said "behind the accelerator linkage" could he be talking about the Accelerator PEDAL? as in the BRAKE light switch?
