Re: 2016 Club Car X2 Plus won't charge after incident
As far as the Club Car X2, I think I am in paralysis by analysis. I Was going to try to do what(Naz I think) suggested next and that is to look inside motor to see if anything was loose or burnt. I have been under there and it looks like there are four bolts that would need to be removed.
The problem is that I don't have any way to lift the cart safely high enough to do much with it. It appears I could access the motor from the back bed when the seats are folded down - I would be looking straight down on it. Do you know if that is possible? So what I have done is worry about it and plug it in thinking that it will eventually fix itself. No such luck. Mike |

Re: 2016 Club Car X2 Plus won't charge after incident
Lol! At least it will be charged.....
Not familiar with your exact cart layout, but DS's and Precedent's all have access panels at the the back to get to the motor/controller/solenoid area. If a cart is not lifted, I take a floor jack and jack-up the frame allowing the rear suspension to sag down which is usually enough room to get to it unless you have HD springs. If you go at it from the top or from underneath, be sure you follow these steps: - Run/Tow switch in "Tow" - Remove main pack Neg cable - Spray down all four (4) motor studs with a good penetrating oil. - Double wrench each stud when removing so you do not break or damage one. - Unplug the Speed Sensor from the back of the motor. - After removing the four (4) motor bolts, the motor should slide off the input shaft and it weighs ~40/50 pounds or so which means you need to be prepared with extra support, hands, strap, etc. to make sure you are comfortable and safe. Once all the cables are off you can do a continuity test to check for any shorts or issues. You can also voltage test the motor if you like. Once you remove it you can open it up and visually inspect it. |

Re: 2016 Club Car X2 Plus won't charge after incident
Hi David: Thanks for your reply and your offer to help. I will certainly call you.
Not sure if Saturday (today) is an option, I had never heard of the X2 designation either until I came to Buggies Unlimited. I typed in my serial number and BU told me I owned a 2x. The "Plus" may indicate it is gas operated, and if that is the case then I was wrong about the plus. Take a look at the pic I attached. Below is what I had found on the forum from someone who at one point was a moderator - named Lockman1. As FairTax said, the Carryall's are based on the DS platform, but, the Plus versions have some of their own differences like... key start, larger FE350 engine, larger tires w/lift, 4 wheel brakes, lights and horn, etc |

Thanks NoleF! I would not have thought of most of this.

The "Plus" was used in the Carryall 2. The Carryall 2 "Plus" offered a key-start design, front wheel brakes, and often came with a factory light package. Otherwise it was the same as a regular Carryall 2. |

Re: 2016 Club Car X2 Plus won't charge after incident
Hi David:
I move slow but I am ... inaccurate as well. Sort of like the government. Okay, so I did test voltage on the batteries. Tested a few independently, meter doesn't budge. Tested all 48 and got a total reading of 6 volts for the whole package. Next I am going to get the type of charger you recommended - not a fast charger - and see if I can get the batteries charged enough to take a charge. Mike |

Re: 2016 Club Car X2 Plus won't charge after incident
Alrighty neighbors,
I did the best I could with these batteries. I still have two that won't pick up the charge. So I force-fed them enough to get them to register. Total volts is just under 40 for the entire package. See the picture below. Still, the charger will not kick on orSo not sure what to do next. One thing I wanted to ask... there is a fuse in a yellow capsule on one of the wires coming from the backside of the charge socket. When I pulled the fuse out I could not see a continuity wire or rod inside the fuse. I also didn't see anything broken. Just to be sure I put a 5A fuse in that spot. Tonight digging around back there I notice there was a tag on the wire that says only used the .75A fuse and gives the part number. I will find the fuse but wondering if having a higher Amp fuse in there would prevent the charger from working... ? Last edited by Pepe30269; 05-29-2019 at 04:50 AM.. Reason: mispells |
