2011 TXT not charging
Daughter and SIL dropped cart off, after the cart stopped running on the way over.
Hooked up the charger, it cycles the fan/charger on/off, the fan doesn't stay on constantly the lights are yellow, red then green. Batteries are not charged after being on all night. Thoughts on what to look for as to why it's not charging, it was previously, any steps to go through to diagnose, common problems would be appreciated. |

Re: 2011 TXT not charging
I would start checking the batteries. Partially discharged batteries will keep golf cart chargers from working if the voltage gets too low. Get your voltmeter and make some measurements.

Re: 2011 TXT not charging
Just did, proper readings for each battery, and total voltage across the pack is 37
Took a normal 12v charger to the first two batteries in series, shows fully charged. They were driving it over, it had been on the charger at their home, it's a 1 mile trip if that. Lights work, 12V led kit fully bright. when depressing the accelerator - nothing, hear the mechanical movement but nothing from there and no movement |

Re: 2011 TXT not charging
Do the LED lights get their voltage from tapping across two batteries or do you have a voltage reducer? Connect voltmeter across the battery 37 volts and see what the voltage does when you try to charge them. Also check the 37 volts when you press the accelerator.

Re: 2011 TXT not charging
Two batteries for the lights, they are on a separate harness to a switch, fused, switch is in the off position haven't detected a draw on the batteries when off.
When pressing the accelerator the voltage remains 37.7 it doesn't drop, same for the charger. |

Re: 2011 TXT not charging
I don't understand why the charger will not charge the batteries assuming the charger is good. It is seeing battery voltage when you plug it into cart or it would not try to turn on. I understand why the cart will not move if you don't hear the solenoid energize when the pedal is pressed. More advanced troubleshooting is required. Next voltage measurements will need to be made around the solenoid connections. The small connections should have voltage on them when the key is turned on. The voltage on one should drop when the pedal is pressed. At least one of the big terminals should have battery voltage on them as long as batteries are connected. I have limited experience with golf cart problems. Trying to keep it simple. You measured 37.7 volts with the charger plugged in. Did the voltage increase .7 volts from the previous recorded 37 volts?

Re: 2011 TXT not charging
I believe the charger isn't charging because the batteries are fully charged.
I measured 37.7 nothing plugged in also measured 37.7 depressing the accel pedal |

Try another charger.
