New EZGO cart -- where to start?

kareybou · 12-21-2011, 12:29 PM

My family just got an EZGO cart given to us with no batteries and we really don't know where to start. I looked up the serial and it says it's a 1998 EZGO TXT, but I don't know anything beyond that.

It definitely needs a new battery cage, since there's a bit of rust and it gives a little.

Where do we begin to just get this cart up and running? Anything in particular we should start working on?

Thanks for any help and I'll keep perusing the forum -- lots of great info here.

Shop around for 6 new batteries, That should be a 36V cart. Check the stickies for wire diagrams and go from there. Make sure your cables are in good shape!

You can buy a replacement battery cage online. It was discussed in the forum a while back, use the search feature. Get batteries and cables. use the wire diagram in the sticky.

But Be warned, this activity will become very addictive......

I figured out this is a Series cart and will be getting some batteries next week.
I'll put some pics on eventually too.

Thanks for all the tips and I'm sure I'll have more questions soon. (I'll search the forums first

My family is jacked up to get this running!!!
