Unhappy Club Car DS (villager 6) Contoller

Hello - I am new to Buggies Gone Wild, I've read several treads over the years which are super helpful but I'm hoping to more specific answers to my Club Car.

I have a 2003 Cub Car Villager 6 which was given to me by a friend not running. His HOA needed it out of his yard. I've tested the motor and it spins, I've added a new solenoid (clicks like it should). However, the cart still doesn't move at all.

At this point, I am starting to believe the MCOR or the controller. I am assuming since the solenoid is clicking, the MCOR is sending signal and the MCOR is good. Is that correct?

When doing some testing with my voltage tester, I am not seeing any major voltage drop when I depress the pedal for B+ to m- (it will change about 1 volt).

Do I have a bad controller? If so, does anyone know where I can get a replacement 1204-412 controller or interchangeable controller. I'm not looking to go Alltrax.

I appreciate any help in advanced!

See red. You need to test the MCOR output.
With the batteries connected, key switch Off, Tow/Run switch in Run; place the black (–) probe on packs main Negative post and the red (+) probe on the yellow wire at the 3-pin connector near the MCOR. (The reading should be approximately ~0.32vdc to ~0.5vdc with the pedal up). Slowly press the Go Pedal and the readings should increase until it reaches ~4.65vdc or more when the pedal is fully pressed. (Anything less than 4.60vdc and you are not reaching full throttle). If you have bad voltage readings, it is a bad MCOR potentiometer..... Get one here https://www.revolutiongolfcars.com/mcors

Thanks so much for the information, NoleFan4Ever! I tested the MCOR as your recommended above. I was getting 0.00vdc regardless of the pedal position. I pulled the MCOR from another DS I have with a known working MCOR and the cart still didn’t run. I tested the yellow wire on the 3-pin connector with the known working MCOR and still got 0.00vdc.

I got lucky on this!

I’m most likely not going to sell this one. It’s great for friends and family hauling. Thanks for your interest though.

Looks like you have two (2) different profiles....

If no voltage coming out, there is another wire coming in of the three (3) there (may be white w/black stripe) that you need to probe and see if you get 5vdc. There is a constant 5vdc going in and then the potentiometer regulates the output back to the controller thru the Yellow wire. (You need the White wire (top of MCOR) and Yellow wire (wiper) to get a 5k-0 signal on the 3-pin connector. The purple wire (bottom of MCOR) is not used.) If you trace it back to the controller and there is no voltage, the controller has a failed and will have to be replaced.

Yeah, I figured out somehow I have two profiles... . Please ignore my technical errors.

I traced the wire as recommended and regretfully, no voltage. Got to starting looking for a new controller. Any ideas where to get a decently priced 1204-412 controller?

Someone offered to sell me their Alltrax NPX4834, 0-5K that they are no longer using but I'm trying to figure out if my Club Car is a 0-5K or 5-0K. Any ideas on how I can find out?

Thanks for your help, NoleFan4Ever!

That cart has a 5k-0 throttle.

Those are old. Here are some repair services and purchases https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...4-412&_sacat=0 but before I spent that, I would buy a MUCH better Alltrax https://www.revolutiongolfcars.com/p...roller-300-amp for about the same money.
