Charger won't turn on

steve1881 · 02-09-2015, 03:48 PM

I have a 1991 ez-go and I recently changed all connections parts on the charger and my cart and plugged my cart in to charge when I came back it was charged full then I plugged in again after running for a while when I came back the next day the charger connector was melted to the cart connection. so I bought a brand new cable and connection for the cart and changed out the plug on the charger but now I plug it in and I get nothing at all do you guys think the charger is shot or something on the cart from when the charger melted together the last time. I hope I gave enough detail, thanks for any input guys, you guys helped me out a bunch on my last problem

Steve,

You might try using shorter sentences. I am having trouble following you.
I am not real clear on what happened in what order.
What make of charger do you have.
Did you check the fuse on the charger line at the battery?

No I did not check the fuse I was not aware there was one. Where exactly is it located at. I submitted a picture of the charger

Thanks again

There are both a circuit breaker (red button on front panel) on the DC output and a fuse on the AC input.

In addition to what JohnnieB said there is a fuse on the cart.
On my cart there is a 50A fuse inline on the POS battery connection
where the charger line attaches.
I am sure it is there in case of a short on the charger line.

You should be able to measure voltage across the charger receptacle contacts on the cart
and get battery pack voltage - I do all the time, its easier than lifting the seat.
If you don't then you probably have an open line or blown fuse
and your charger won't start charging.

Send a picture of your charger receptacle where the wires attach
and also the battery pack where the charger leads connect.

Thanks guys for the help I will take the picture as soon as I get to the cart. Its up at my farm so it might be a little bit before I can get to it. Ill try and look for the fuse too while I'm there

Thanks
