ok so i got to thinking about what could cause this problem and this is what i did. the cart was working fine, i was cleaning up the cart ,i toke the plate off around the peddles and fond a lot of dirt and stuff. so i got the shop vac out and started the clean. after that i saw that the cables and bolts and levers and what not are all rusty and corroded so i hosed every thing down with WD-40 penetrating oil. could that have done something to the TPS that is on the side of the go peddle ? i am at a lose here and do not have the money for expensive parts.

thanks for all of your help

also it will run in reverse a lot longer then in forward so i think it may be the TPS but i am not sure because i have never worked on a golf cart before i got this one

plumberdad70 · 08-15-2018, 04:42 PM

"will not move in tow mode at all" ? Like you can't even push it?

plumberdad70 · 08-18-2018, 06:58 AM

It will move. I was not sure what tow mode was for but yes it will move in tow mode. In run mode it will only go a few feet then it stops. Batteries have a 48.9 volts.when it stops i can flip the r&t switch back and forth and it will go a few more feet then stop again.

You need to get those batteries charged. I can't help you with anything if the batteries are bad. I say "bad" because I assume you have already charged them and still getting those bad readings.

plumberdad70 · 08-19-2018, 02:41 PM

no they have not been charged back up yet. but wont the cart still run at 48 volts?

cgtech · 08-19-2018, 02:49 PM

The "runs, then drops out" leads first to low batteries, or batteries that drop horribly under load. Most people don't want to hear 'bad batteries' because that costs more than a switch. So please just charge them. If I can't know with reasonable certainty your batteries are capable of doing their job I can't help. Low state of charge does not equal any sort of certainty to me.

Fair enough i understand. I will let you know when i get the new batteries. Thanks for your help
