Bonehead move of the year.
I feel like an idiot first of all and second as a result of my idiocracy my 97 EZ-GO series cart won't GO-EZ.
Here are the particulars. 97 txt series cart stock electronics 6 month old trojan T-105's new 1ga (battery pack) and 4ga cables (controller/F&R to motor) lift kit with 22's snowplow Tonight I was plowing snow with it and was setting against a large pile I had just pushed. Just then I received a text message. In my excitement for receiving said text I didn't realize I was setting against the pile with the accelerator pushed halfway down. I only found this out when I smelled something burning and then the cart jerked a few times and lost all power. I pushed it back to the garage to diagnose. Here is what I found in a brief diagnosis. When I depress the foot feed I get a click at the solenoid with both large lugs powered up. I get power from the controller to the motor but of course no movement. This is where I stopped. I will look at it again tomorrow but was just wondering if anybody had any ideas before I did. Looking forward to your suggestions. |

Re: Bonehead move of the year.
Sounds like a perfect time to upgrade to an Alltrax controller.

Re: Bonehead move of the year.
It seem to me..if you get power on both sides of the solenoid...it's working. If there is power to the motor than the controller is working...unless the controller is not delivering the power with enough amps to move the wheels. If there is enough amps being delivered then that would leave the motor being bad. Just my line of thought. I'm sure other that are way more familiar with carts will be along to assist with the diagnosis. Good Luck!
