Re: '99 ezgo 36 volt wires overheating!!

 I was p*ssing on myself! I am the "management" that I referenced. I am hoping to get a real answer.  There's nothing wrong with following advise mentioned to date. I was simply questioning the statement: "If your batteries are dead the motor will draw more amperage and heat the wires." and still do. But I guess we'll never know. |

Re: '99 ezgo 36 volt wires overheating!!
Look... dad'lfixit's question was simple... what caused his wires to melt?
I think Scotty answered it as as simply as possible, replace the switch and cables with something at bit more heavy duty! I think, it's as simple as that! Not whether or not the batteries are low, amperage, voltage, impedance of the motor... IMO... it was a bad connection which made his cables and F/R switch smoke! Golf cars are not rocket science, with the minimal electrical experience that I have... I consider myself a "caveman"... and even I can do it! my .02 |

Sorry that I may have been a part of that! I was just trying to prove a point!
Take care! |

Re: '99 ezgo 36 volt wires overheating!!
Everyone's actually correct here but just applying different scenarios.
The OP actually has more than 1 problem. 1 or more of his batteries are probably shot if it only runs for 20 minutes after a full charge. He needs to check the condition of his F/R switch and the associated cables. Depending on his budget he can either buy new parts for the F/R switch, replace it completely or upgrade to a HD switch. The same applies to his cables, replace 1 or more, the complete set or upgrade to a heavier gauge. |

Re: '99 ezgo 36 volt wires overheating!!
The controller has no way of keeping the voltage are current at a steady scale. The only thing that does this is your battery pack. This is why all the aftermarket controller's have a min. and max setting.
