Re: Smoking Control Box

I haven't heard of this before but maybe someone else has? As to the blue wire above, ? There is a blue wire from the key switch to MS2, but that looks like a pretty large ring terminal. The low current side of the controller consists of a number of safety switches that all have to be satisfied before the controller will even power up. There is a possibility of a bad cable on the high current side, but I'd think that would also have heated up and smoked. I'd inspect each cable, but probably would start reading the link I gave you for upgrades. You see what I have in my sig, and I got it all from ScottyB, Carts Unlimited. Think about how you see using the cart, and if you need those really big diameter tires. You can get the controller now, and ScottyB can confirm whether anything in your cart can cause it to take up smoking, or whether it has enough safeties built in. Then you will need to decide how much upgrading to do now and how much can wait. An SR48500, which I have, can easily work on 36 volts now and 48 volts later on. |

I'll check on the cables but it was definitely coming from the box, the problem is that now I have a ounce of knowledge, I want a 48volt cart and upgrade that rather than chase that high with my 36v. sounds crazy? |

Since you have new batteries, you could get two more and put one under the driver's seat and one in the bag well. At battery change time, you can buy six 8 volt batteries. |

I can see why an old resistive cable would cook the FNR switch or solenoid but don't understand why faulty cables would cause the box to malfunction..i guess I don't totally understand how it works, I was just thinking the batteries provide the pack voltage at the box and it acts like a faucet controlled by the ITS feeding the motor amps |

There are several "wear spots" in a series cart where the cables head toward the motor, and contact the frame near the passenger side. |
