Charger or receptacle issue?

[coolerheads]

I have a 2010 G29, with a JW9 charger. Batteries have tested out fine. But more times that not when I plug into the cart my charger just cycles over and over. If I move the plug end of the cord around it eventually begins charging once I hit a "sweet spot" that is usually pushed up like the top prong is having an issue connecting.

I feel it's a receptacle issue but just start changing out parts blindly.

First post, thanks for helping a nube out....

Have not seen that one yet, especially on something so new. When those start having problems is usually when the apartment maintenance worker has ran it over a few hundred times. Can you test your charger on a buddies cart or something like that?

Let me clarify what I was saying, looked back at my post and I worded a bit crooked.

When I say the "plug end" I mean the plug going into the cart. Not the plug end going into a power source.

I don't have another Yamaha owner near by, but got my eyes open.

The charge port on the cart side retails for $61.99, but can be found cheaper online.

Here's part number

JW2-H6181-02-00 RECEPTACLE

Before replacing parts try cleaning the plug and the receptacle. I had a similar problem (charger would not charge) and it was solved by just cleaning all the contacts.

Have you tried multiple outlets to eliminate that it's a bad socket? If it's on the charger side I'd replace the plug end you can get a 3 prong replacement for under $5 at lowes really easy to change

Please let me know how this turns out. I have been toying with the idea of buying a Lester on board charger because i am having the same issue.
