MSP Multi-Step Potentiometer / Cart want go
According to my serial number I have a 2000 Club Car DS Electric. About a month ago I started having trouble with the battery charger not working so after some research I did a bypass of the OBC and the relay in the charger and got the Cart going again. Now I have a different problem, not sure if it's related or not.
I was going across the yard at full speed and all of a sudden the Cart slowed down and start shuttering. It would go and then stop. As I would press and depress the accelerator it would start and stop. Finally it stopped pulling at all. After a while I tried it again and it tried to pull but still starts and stops, not hardly pulling at all. After researching on line, I thought it may be an MCOR problem. When I tried finding it I found that I don't have a MCOR, but have a MSP, Multi-Step Potentiometer. 1. Could these problems be related. 2. If not, What do I need to do to fix this problem???? Let me know if I can give anymore information to help diagnose this problem. |

Re: MSP Multi-Step Potentiometer / Cart want go
Is this a Series cart?
FNR Handle or a Fwd/Rev Rocker Switch? |

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. Series? FNR? Rocker switch?
There's a handle on the front wall of the seat that you move from side to side to select forward and reverse. Not sure if it's a Series or not. The problem is the same in forward and reverse. |

Re: MSP Multi-Step Potentiometer / Cart want go
Since you have the F/R lever that rocks side to side, you have a series drive cart. Shuddering is a classic sign of low voltage on a series car. What is your pack voltage, and how old are the batteries?

Yep, need to look at pack voltage and go forward.

Re: MSP Multi-Step Potentiometer / Cart want go
Just to be clear. Are you saying it has a lever with an arm that moves back and forth, or is it more like a push button?

Re: MSP Multi-Step Potentiometer / Cart want go
I've put a volt meter on the batteries and it reads 50 volts and it holds 50 volts when I press the accelerator and it tries to move. What's my next step? This tells me it's not a battery problem. I'm open for options!!!

Take a VOM and place it on the 2 small posts of your solenoid. Jack it up, then with the Key On, in Fwd, depress the pedal until you hear the micro-switch in the MSP click, then check your reading at the meter and report back what you have. |
