How can I tell which battery setup I have?

[ItsAdam1]

Hello my names Adam I am new here looking for help trouble shooting my cart now I think i have a 1997 Ezgo textron but how can I tell if its DS non DS or what? Plus its currently not running the batteries are fairly new they are getting over 12volts each one. but when I press the pedal nothing happens... Where should I start looking at the pedal?

Adam, for starters, the batteries.....you should have 6 6v batteries, not 12v batteries, if you do....someone has done some type of conversion job, with isn't the way to go at all. if you have a DVM what is each one showing for a charge? if it's only showing 12v, its about dead, which could be the reason it doesn't move. A 36v cart with a full charge will have 38.2v.


oh and btw......Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to BGW. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

HOW many 12v batteries do you have in her? 3 or 4 ? Does the solenoid click when you try to go?
If yes can you put a meter on the pack and tell us what the pack reads total and then what it drops to when the solenoid clicks.

Here is a chart for ezgo drive system identification.

I forgot that these are 6volt batteries, I am guessing the relay is stuck but I touched the post on the left side of the relay and it buzzed, so i hit the pedal and it moved. So it working now......
