Reed Switch Bypass

NO NO NO E-Z-GO! · 05-19-2007, 03:36 PM

How do you bypass the reed switch on a 1997 EZGO electric with run/tow switch. Which wires do you cross up?

Connect the small red wire from the reed switch to the white wire that goes out of the charger receptacle and plugs into the red wire on the F/R microswitch.

This cart has a different type of charger safety interlock which involves a signal to the controller. Not nearly as simple as the reed-switch bypass.

Just got a used cart and installed new batteries. The cart barely limps along, it does love but very slow. I noticed the wiring from the reed switch isn’t connected to anything. Can someone please tell me what this should connect to? And would this be the issue of the cart moving very slow. Also there is a constant faint beep when the batteries are hooked up. Even with the key off. I can really use some help. Thanks guys!

!!!DISCONNECT MAIN PACK CABLES WHILE WORKING!!!

In this photo disconnect the red wire from the A(+pos) connection of the cart charger receptacle. Cut the thin white Reed switch wire as close to the Reed switch itself as you can. Discard Reed switch. Install an eyelet on the newly cut white wire and attach it to the A(+pos) connection of the cart charger receptacle (where the thin red wire used to be). Your Reed switch is now bypassed.

Be sure to unplug the charger from the cart before driving away!

Oh and if your charger receptacle looks this dirty, CLEAN IT!

I understand how to do this but is there any consequence to the cart..... I have a 2001 pds electric cart.....Id appreciate some feed back.
