36 volt Ezgo. I need some help!!
I have a 96 Ezgo dcs 36 volt. It is in great shape and usually runs great. I only use the cart for golfing. Today, while playing we just finished a hole. When I got on the cart it would not move. When I would feather the gas feed or tap it, it would try to go but just sat there. After 5 min or so it took off like it was new. Then did the same thing a while later. This time we gave it about a 20 yard push and it took off again. The batteries were full charged when this happened.
Thanks for the help!!! |

Re: 36 volt Ezgo. I need some help!!
I know you said the batteries were fully charged but, if it were me, I'd put a mm on them and get an accurate voltage. You should probably do it for each battery too, and test them under load. Post your results to the hundredth. I.e.: 6.xx. You could have a loose wire, but it also sounds like you could have a bad pack or at least one battery that is failing under load.

Didn't see that you said it took off fine after the initial problem. Still, it only takes a bit to test the batteries and always seems like a good starting point.
Good luck. |

like the others suggested, it sounds like a loose connection OR a corroded connection. Without a doubt, intermittent electrical issues are the hardest to deal with.....so do as suggested and check the voltage of each battery.....then start, one at a time, remove each cable connection and clean it and reinstall it. and it certainly wouldn't hurt to put a little protectant on them.

Need to take a look at the sonic weld where the 4 wires come together just before the forward switch. Have to do a little wire cutting to get to it.

Re: 36 volt Ezgo. I need some help!!
Ok. I've cleaned and checked every connection I can find on the cart. I really didn't think that was it. But, I figured I'd give it a shot. When I push the gas feed, it starts bumping forward really easy. Then, it might sit there for a minute or so then take off about half speed and go to full speed. Full speed is about 22mph. I think I'm losing a motor.
