Default 1997 Yamaha G16E

My Yamaha G16e recently stopped working. It will not move and does not click when the pedal is pressed. Please help me troubleshoot.

First we need to make sure your batteries are ok. How old are they and can you perform a load test on them?

The batteries are 4 years old and when I plug in the charger nothing happens either, it will not come on. How do I perform a load test? Sorry new at this.

Take your volt meter & check the voltage in each battery, report back with voltages. No voltmeter? That's a problem you will have to fix.

you're batteries are toast.

You could try using a 12 volt battery charger on each battery for like a half hour on each, and then see if they will come back. Chances are they are gone.

Shouldn't the battery charger for the cart come on even if the batteries are toast? Right now the charger won't even kick on.

All automatic battery chargers have a minimum voltage they must see to enable "automatic operation", they must sense that the batteries that are connected are likely to be the correct type & voltage. Yours are way too low.
