Troubleshooting Help Needed-2009 RXV
2009 EZGO RXV 48V (4x12) Electric
I just bought this cart from a cart dealer a few weeks ago. I have only driven it around the neighborhood a few times. In fact, the power gauge has not dipped below 95+ %. The batteries are brand new Trojans. A few days ago, I took it for a spin with only two of us and could smell a faint electrical burning smell. There was no smoke, and I couldn’t tell where the smell was originating. Today, I tried to take it out again with just two small kids and experienced the same smell. Again, no smoke, and I couldn’t place the smell. I ran my infra-thermo over the parts and there was nothing terribly hot. The motor was around 100F, but that was it.
I let it sit a while and then tried to pull it into the garage. When I tried to put in in “F”, it did a quick slight thrust in reverse, then the back up alarm beeped repeatedly in short tones. It wouldn’t go, only beep no matter if I was in “R”, “N”, or “F”. I flipped the tow switch back and forth. I turned the ignition switch off and on. It still did the same thing. I finally put it in “tow” and pushed it into the garage. I plugged in the charger to see if it would maybe reset the controller or something, but to no avail.
I rebuilt a 2001 model years ago, so I know my way around these things. But, this newer technology has me more reluctant to just start pulling covers and trying to test amperage and voltage.
Any ideas?
