Loose connections are your worse enemy! They will damage the components. Don't take an loose electrical connection lightly! Crimp the connector until it slides on tight! Cut the insulation back until it goes on fully! Carefully recheck all the connections - especially the high amperage ones. |

Re: Alltrax 4844 Question
Disaster!
Driving cart yesterday and it looked like a 4th of July show coming out of rear passenger wheel well and cart just stopped. Solenoid still clicks but no go. All of wires from F&R to solenoid and controller look good. Going to jack it up today and check the wires to the motor, maybe one of them got worn and it touched the frame? |

Re: Alltrax 4844 Question
I'm just wondering if the wires that come from the F\R switch and the controller, and go to the motor, (the ones that wrap around the corner of the battery frame)....if the rubber cable coating has worn thru on the corner of the battery frame? Thus causing a short between the positive and negative. The frame itself should not have any ground to it. (Unlike a car that has the frame with a negative ground....carts don't use the frame for either negative or positive)
I only mention this as it had happened to me once. Lots of sparks....lots of rubber smell....fortunately, no controller blow-out. FWIW Dave |

Re: Alltrax 4844 Question
Catastrophic damage is already done to these switches by the time you see the stud change color or show any sign of getting hot. The plastic housing is good to about 150*. Above that temperature the housing melts and the studs sink in their seats - which allows the contact part of the stud to sink away from the rotary part of the switch. So... By the time you saw the sparks, the F&R was already toast. These systems will not tolerate loose connections.
