RXV won’t move after brake repair

Retodd · 03-28-2022, 01:45 PM

Have a 2008 RXV that was jumping when the key was turned on, then reverse buzzer was beeping. Researched here to find the brake was probably bad and failing it’s test. I pulled it off and found that the disc moved around freely so I replaced it. Put it all back together and drove it around.

Now the problem…. Got it back to the shop and swapped out the key switch to the old one. The owner swapped for new thinking that was his problem. Now the cart doesn’t move. So, no brainer, I put the new switch back in and it still won’t move. I checked both pedal switches for continuity and both potentiometers for voltage range and both are good. What next?

Pull the run plug and check the terminals. Clean them if there's any corrosion.

If, by the run plug, you mean the jumper below the dash, I’ve checked, wiggled, cleaned and ohmed it already. I know this has to be something simple and stupid because it ran fine after I replaced the brake. Thanks for the reply

Just an update! A friend told me to remove the cable from the battery and allow the controller to “reset”. I did and the cart now runs great.

Glad it's rolling again. Thanks for the update.
