Club Car DS dead after being used to tow
My dad used his 2001 Club Car DS to pull a truck and afterwards it smelled like something got really hot. It wasn't very far but it was up a hill at one point and it was under a load. After letting it sit for a little bit he tried to move it and it completely died after a few yards. He replaced the solenoids but said they keep popping. Is there a way i can diagnose if he burnt the motor up or if there is a different problem. Thanks for the help.

Your Dad should look at the batteries first, attach a voltmeter and tell us what the standing still voltage is and what the pack voltage reads when you try to go. If the batteries are still good, I would look inside the V-glide and see what the wiper contacts look like, they may have burned up? |
