Didn't think it applied, so I didn't mention it. Thanks for pointing that subtlety out, I'll be more careful next time. |

A 2000 PDS is a rare cart.

Re: 2002 EZGO will not charge
JohnnieB,
Thanks for the help... You guys are amazing... In your reply you said "If the fuse and ammeter are good and relay doesn't click, you might be spinning your wheels looking elsewhere." The fuse is good! How do I know the ammeter is ok? I disassembled the connector and cleaned the Auxiliary Contact and bent it out a bit as well. Still no clicks or hum! Just crickets The relay in the charger that should click would be the black box in my second picture to the upper right that has the two black wires connected to it? |

Re: 2002 EZGO will not charge
Pull the 2 black wires from the relay in the picture. connect them to one another in a secure fashion. making sure they don't touch anything.
Plug the charger into the cart. Note the battery pack standing voltage. Plug the charger into AC supply. Notice a hum coming from the charger? If yes check voltage at the battery pack. Has battery pack increased? If yes, replace the charger control board... Do not use the charger in this manner as it will damage the batteries. This is only for testing purposes. |

Re: 2002 EZGO will not charge
No I had forgotten to accomplish that check.
I disconnected the relay, connected those wires together, plugged the charger into the cart and then plugged the cart into the ac outlet. ScottyB, While I was outside performing this check I hadnt read your next post and didnt check any voltages while accomplishing this test. Should I do it again? The charger is plugged into a surge protector and has always operated that way. At this point the charger hummed. I looked at the amp meter which was still on zero. Approximately 5 seconds later the surge protector tripped. |

JohnnieB,
Wasn't trying to be a smart butt so if it came off that way I apologize. Keep it up with the info. |

Re: 2002 EZGO will not charge
ScottyB,
I measured the battery pack standing voltage at the positive and negative cables on the controller side of cart. Voltage 37.4 VDC. I plugged the charger in with the two black relay wires connected. I left the volt meter connected during this entire process. Again the charger hummed and the amp meter stayed on 0. The voltage never moved off of 37.4 VDC. Again the power strip trips after a few seconds. When looking for the voltage increase do I need to plug directly into an outlet and let the charger operate for a few minutes or was this test valid? And with the battery pack voltage not changing during this process does it still lead to the charger control board? Thx again... |

Re: 2002 EZGO will not charge
I have a PDS having similar problems. The charger works when plugged into another cart so I don't think it is the prob. Put a new solenoid in and the charger/cart stopped working. No sound from charger. Could I have wired the solenoid wrong?
Thanks, Dal |
