Replacing several parts and 2000 EZGO TXT still won't move
This one is a mystery for me folks. Rode our 2000 TXT one evening, parked it in the garage and put it on charge...next day, cart won't move. Solenoid clicked and that was it. So that's when I started working on it and replacing things.
New parts/fixes: New solenoid, new controller (standard 350 amp), new ITS behind front pedal, replaced all battery cables on top of batteries (5 or 6 in total) from 6 gauge to 4 gauge, replaced plug on PowerWise charger and receptacle on cart...charges fine. Tested all batteries separately and getting 6.5 volts each. Tested entire pack and getting 39 volts...batteries appear to be fully charged and stay charged. As of today, after all new parts and checking wires as best as possible, the cart won't move at all. Solenoid just clicks...gotten nowhere in over a week and hundreds of dollars in parts. What in the world could it be? Motor gone bad possible? Only major parts I haven't replaced was F/R switch or the motor. REALLY hoping it's not the motor. I thought it would be really strange if the motor just quit like that, esp. after working fine for so long. HELP!!! |

F&r is easy to inspect, and a likely culprit.

Re: Replacing several parts and 2000 EZGO TXT still won't move
I’ve used various threads from the BGW site to troubleshoot as best as possible but I’m definitely not an expert in that arena. I appreciate any and all tips I can get!
I did test voltage at the solenoid and controller in several spots and all checked out. Voltage goes up and down accordingly in those places when I engage the solenoid, hold down the pedal all the way, etc. I did notice that on the motor itself (assuming I did it right) I was only getting 15 volts. What’s the best way to test the F/R switch and motor using a meter? |

Re: Replacing several parts and 2000 EZGO TXT still won't move
Probed everywhere as described above and getting full pack voltage on the wires on top of the motor and F/R switch. The only place I get zero voltage is at the little orange wire terminal on the F/R switch but that may be normal. So if it isn’t the little orange connection the only thing that sticks out is possibly a dead motor maybe? Not sure if you can replace parts on that or best to go with a new one. Thanks all.

Re: Replacing several parts and 2000 EZGO TXT still won't move
im having a similar problem with my cart and i checked the motor last night by jumping 12v to it, had it spinning no problem. im leaning towards the controller since im getting 7v at the ITS. there is a youtube video on how to check the motor it was very helpful...

Internally the controller closes the circuit between M- and B-, adjusting voltage between the two (based on pedal input) to control motor speed. I think if you have power to M- and none to B- then either controller is not getting proper signal to close or controller is bad. |

Re: Replacing several parts and 2000 EZGO TXT still won't move
I got pack voltage in what appeared to be the right places, pretty much everywhere including B- and M-. Tried every new and pos combination imagine across the solenoid, controller, F/R...everything looks right, cart just not moving. I suspect something is up with the motor unless I’m totally misunderstanding here. Appreciate all the help and input so far.
