Ok, Just disconnected fuse and jumped to neg batt post. Bingo, charger is happily charging at 7 amps. I guees I should wait till fully charged, reset obc, and if still problems pull motor? Thanks again

ok your charger isn,t going to shut off don,t leave it on any longer than 16 hours......you need to replace OBC and that will take care of charging issues and maybe other issue as well....................................

My Precedent motor did the same thing... turned out to be a broken spring on one of the brushes. When pushed it would try to move but very jerky. So part of your problem might be the motor!

ok, More info. Pulled the motor and has major issues, burnt stuff and what not. The motor is a d and dmotor works, model 170-012-0002, rating class h, 36 volts. My club car is a 48 volt set up. What happens then, any advise on replacement motors appreciated. Thanks, Brad BTW RESET OBC AND CHARGER KICKED ON, WOULD A FRIED MOTOR AFFECT THE OBC AND CHARGING OR DO I STILL HAVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS?

[shadowman]

it should not effect the OBC but who knows......its fine to run a 36 volt motor in a 48 volt cart lots of us have that setup....36 volts gives you approx 25% more bang..........this is more than likely a coincidence..............as long as cart is charging concentrate on motor and if charging system acts up again than worry about it................................

ok, thanks. my goal at this point is to have a top speed of 15mph, all flat. What motor should I be looking for? do I need to worry about number of splines etc? Thanks again

[shadowman]

yes you have to get one that matches up , if you get the 36 volt motor you have repaired that should give you 16 to 18 mph........................other than that a PQ motor will do it......you can also send yours to PQ and have them do it....................................

Ok, update. Replaced motor, cart runs smooth and fast enough. After use put on charger. Charger would not come on. Disconnected one battery cable, put back on, it is charging now. If I use it and put charger on and it does not come on then what? Thanks. FYI been spreading the word here in the Bahamas, we have so many broken carts it is ridiculous!

thanks for the update..............ok if you havn,t replaced the OBC thats what your gonna have to do and that will take care of the charging issue......i think i told you there might be more than 1 problem so you should be fine after that..............................
