Charger Error 1 AND Error 2

[GCPK]

Purchased a 2010 G29 that had been "refurbished" about a month ago. The cart works well, and up until recently was charging fine.

However, after pulling it out of the garage and back in a short while later, the charger didn't charge correctly like normal. Instead it shows ERROR 1 and ERROR 2. Both red lights are on.

The car is in TOW mode, and has a full battery (there's a separate battery indicator installed on the cart for battery charge). The cart still drives fine, but now I cant get it back on the charger and charging properly.

Google hasn't come up with any good answers, so turning to hear for some help if possible.

Anybody know what the error/problem is that causes both ERROR 1 and 2 lights to be on on the charger?

Specifically what charger? "it's the stock one" is the incorrect answer, 4 different chargers were "stock" over the course of the Drive's history.

Sorry for the late reply, I hadn't realized anyone replied to the thread.

I don't see any place with a model or serial # on the charger, but here are some pics of it.

Ok, it's the Moric JW2 charger. I'll look up the errors.

Here ya go.

Thank you.

So much time has passed that I can't remember if the lights were both ON or both BLINKING. I'll try it later today and check. (As you can probably tell, I don't drive it very much). Currently sitting in TOW mode and if I have to move it out of the garage the charge seems to be holding the last several weeks.

Are any of these errors fixable? Charger issue or cart issue? Appreciate your help/input.

Really hard to guess when the lights status is unknown.

Confirmed last night, it's the both flashing error.

Plug the charger in and it works fine for a brief moment, and then both ERROR 1 and ERROR 2 blink.

Open it up, it's a clam shell. Take the top half off, look for effed parts with a bulge, or a smoke trail below it. Those chargers aren't known for being the "awesomest". The 4 big caps are known to bulge or blow, and the mosfets inside the grey boots pinched up to the heatsink are known for letting the magic smoke out.

Here's what I got.

Nothing looks out of place, or burned/fried. Thoughts on what you see here?

Appreciate the help again.

It sure looks like that fan has spent some serious "run time", which is odd to me. These chargers don't even turn the fan on until something like 168° f. Consequently, they usually never even run. I can't even tell you how many owners of that charger have come to me with suspicion the fan must be broken, because it just never comes on. The newer JW9 Yamaha charger has a much lower fan temp threshold. Otherwise, I don't see any thing obviously burned, but I didn't think the selection of view points was very diverse.
