2016 S4 is fried. New motor & controller?
Just got the call that my cart isn’t working because the motor and controller are fried. I recently had it reprogrammed last month and it looks like something went wrong. So I’m going to make lemonade out of lemons and upgrade it all since I’ll need a new motor, controller, and solenoid anyways. What do you all recommend for speed and light towing?

Did it get towed while I’m the run position or something? I’m trying to figure out what would take out a motor and controller at the same time.
Have you tested the motor independently? |

Re: 2016 S4 is fried. New motor & controller?
Seems odd that a 2016 has motor and controller fried. Unless someone towed it while the Run/Tow switch was in Run as LukeL pointed out.
Could be the reason both are "fried" is your tech needs to recover from year end expenses?..... My brother in law had that happen with a shop here in Pinellas County. they hit him for a new controller. Then a new motor later. Then a year later another new motor... If you trust the shop that diagnosed it then never mind. |

Supposedly the motor shorted out and that fried the controller. Hasn’t been towed but I do think I may have pushed it about 10 feet in the garage and forgot to move the switch. Would that short of a distance at a low speed do it?

A 10 foot push won’t hurt it. In very rare cases that can happen, but it doesn’t seem likely that something so new the motor would short out. I could be wrong though.
