Club car, no go, controller smoking
The title says it. The cart slowed down and when it stopped the controller was smoking and it won't go anymore
It is a 36v club car without resistors pre 2000.5 as best I can tell. Is the controller fried or something else? |

Re: Club car, no go, controller smoking
Thanks, that was my guess, I just did not want to start throwing parts blindly.

Re: Club car, no go, controller smoking
I got my new controller from ProgRama and it fixed my problem. I figured out a few things putting this in. First is take out the right rear and center rear battery. Then you can get in there. I put a 4" block under the cart to hold the controller while I hooked up the wires. Take a picture of it before you take them off so you can figure out where they go.
Be sure you think about how it twists going back up there so you get the wires routed right. Otherwise it will tangle up and not go in. (the black one and the skinny yellow one are the problem). Throw away the 1/4" nuts and washers and use nuts with captive star washers to mount the controller. Then you are not trying to assemble 3 parts, blind, standing on your head. Those will sit in the socket so you can just shove them up there and spin them down. |

Re: Club car, no go, controller smoking
Don't plan on getting your $100 core charge back from ProgRama. They told me the internal components were "burned out" so it was not eligible for a core.
Excuse me Skippy but isn't that why you replace a controller? |

Good news is that the one you got may not have had catastrophic issues before being refurbished. |
