Default 06 Club Car Electric power but won’t go

Full charge backed out of garage just fine

Then when switched to forward it feels like it tries to move but stops. Same thing when switch to reverse. Tries to move but stops.

Replaced FNR switch, key switch, OBC and MCOR last year.

Where do I start to look?

Thanks

Check your solenoid and verify it is closing in. It does not sound like it is and you are only feeling the initial discharge of the capacitors.

The fact that your charger shut off indicating fully charged batteries, does not mean that they are OK. I had a cart with the exact same symptoms in the cart barn at the club. I put a voltmeter on each battery after resting for a day after the full charge and the all read 8.4+ volts, old batteries and a little low but OK. You could drive the cart 200 yds and it would quit and individual battery voltage was then 6-7V each. I then used a hydrometer on each battery and not one cell would even raise the float in the hydrometer. Batteries were shot, in spite of the fully charged voltage readings.

Most likely time to replace yours.

Sorry, I didn't mention the batteries were replaced last July. Before the other electrical items mentioned were replaced.

The 2006 probably has an AMD motor with the top hat speed sensor. Pull it off and check to see if the magnet is in broken and multiple pieces. I have found them in as many as six pieces all clinging to the 1/4-20 bolt holding it in. The cart still saw a very confusing speed signal and would run intermittently. I have replaced a half dozen crumbled magnets with strange symptoms, running sometimes and sometimes not. Easy to check. If it is a GE motor, there is different procedure on it, so be careful and look it up beforehand and I have not found a broken one on the GE.

Did you verify the solenoid activation and current going thru it?
