2002 EZGO Txt - Got it going...then nothing
I have a 2002 EZGO Txt. It hasn't run all winter, so I charged each battery individually first, and then put them on the charger pack. While I was charging, I put in a new LED headlight and taillight kit!
I took it off the charger, she fired right up. Drove maybe a quarter mile, and it suddenly coasted to a stop. I cursed for a while, and pushed it back home. I left it on the charger all night and half of Sunday (it never clicked off until after lunch, so maybe it just needed a good deep cycle charge). Put the keys in, punched the gas........nothing. Headlights work. The annoying reverse beep works. The battery level indicates full. My volt meter is broken, so I couldn't check the specific voltage. Buy a new voltage meter and start there? Could it be the solenoid? Last year, it would periodically die with a series of short beeps, but would fire right back up as soon as I came to a complete stop, so I was suspecting it needed to be replaced anyway. Both? Neither? Recommendations? |

Re: 2002 EZGO Txt - Got it going...then nothing
Update to my own post for anyone who is searching:
I started checking the batteries, and they were all in the 6.3 range (36 volt cart). After charging overnight, they did go up to the 6.4, 6.5 range. I had read somewhere that they should be in the 7.0 range when fully charged, so I was a little nervous that it might be a new set of batteries for me. Punched the gas....nothing. Regardless, I had ended up ordering a new solenoid, searched around a youtube, and figured out how to put it in. Advice: take pictures of all the wiring before you pull anything out! We referred back to them a couple of times, and it was a great help. Once in, it fired right up! |

Glad you got it working. Here’s an soc chart for future reference. It’s courtesy of johnnieb. Readings are 10-12 hrs after a full charge.
