smells like burning rubber
I've noticed a faint smell of burning rubber on my 99 Club Car (electric) Near as I can tell there aren't any belts that could be slipping, nothing rubbing the tires either. What should I be looking for?

Re: smells like burning rubber
Something is getting hot and I would prioritize finding out what it is! Be very careful, but quickly touch the connections for all the heavy cables, after the smell occurs. What is a bad connection will be very hot. Once you find it put your tow - run switch to the tow position, disconnect your battery pack, and clean ( to bright metal ) the bad connection. Actually, since you have gone this far, take them all off one at a time and clean them.
Every few months, that's pretty much normal maintenance on electric carts anyway! |
