Help me please 2003 club car ds

Since You mentioned You were an electrician, if You were using a low impedance (Lo-Z) meter, it would have affected the pedal reading.

The Fluke 117 for example, when in Auto-V mode, has an input impedance of 3kΩ. if You put that impedance on Pin #3, it would have caused a voltage divider with the MCOR and the maximum voltage would have been around 3.5v.

If You measure that again in the regular DC volts setting (high impedance) it should read 0-5v.

It does not look good for the motor, You may have a bad armature.

You can put the FNR in neutral and measure the resistance between A1 and A2, it should be very low.

You can also try the voltage test with Pedal up and Down between A2 and M- to see if the armature winding is good.

ok Sergio I will check the resistance between a1 and a2 I still have the original motor that I took out when I put the plumquick bandit in so I will try swapping motors out also glad I kept the old motor

[aaronbittues]

Ok went back and checked motor readings and they were fine so moved on to checking to see if old motor would work while disconnecting plumquick motor found that the cable gaining to a2 had been pinched between the frame and battery six and shorted out had finally had time to start tracing every wire never would have found it without disconnecting and pulling it out it broke when I tried to pull it out

[aaronbittues]

Replaced broken cable from a2 to for and cart is running again

[aaronbittues]

Now another question I had the controller sent out to be rebuilt and upgraded to 400a after getting cart running it goes the same speed as the stock controller got 22.5 mph is this normal torque does seem better

[aaronbittues]

Oh still have the plumquick bandit motor in the cart

[jakesnake27]

The higher amperage will really only help with torque, i.e. going up hills.

[aaronbittues]

I would like to thank Sergio and Jake for all the help pointing me in the right direction glad to have the cart running again now it is off to the paint shop for a nice metallic lavender coating my girl is going to be one happy stylish 16 year old.

[Sergio]

I am glad You got it working, like I said so many things in the cart have similar symptoms that sometimes You just have to have patience and check everything.

Post pictures after is painted

Yeah, we'll want to see some pics!
