2011 Electric 48V EZGO Jerking On Acceleration

[jgleason]

New to the forum, would appreciate any advice..I don't know much about golf carts. This is my first one.
Have a 2011 EZGO txt 48V. Everything was working fine until washing it a couple weeks ago (Had it loaded on my truck and was washing all months/ year of caked on dirt underneath , after that it starts Jerking hard when pushing the accelerator down. Jerks 3-4 times then even out at full speed. Checked where the ITS is located. No water, and even replaced the ITS just incase it was that.

I did notice yesterday that there is a small "box" covering what looks like may be the solenoid or something (passenger side floor rear- by battery bank) full of debris and dirt which I will be cleaning out.

I have tightened all battery cables, and batteries are in good condition.

I don't remember what years were involved but near that small box covering the solenoid on some years of EZGO there was a molex connector that was prone to issues. If it exists on your cart disconnect, clean, reconnect and see if your issue goes away or changes. I think that the 2011 does not have that molex, but take a look and see because it is a known weak point on carts that have it.
