2014 rxv ezgo
My son and I were riding our golf cart today after the rain....we hit a few puddles (bc he loves that) and as we made our way home we hit one last big puddle and kept going...started going down a hill near our house and the golf cart braked hard like I was letting off the gas peddle (electric golf cart). Once I came to a stop I put it in tow mode and then out of tow mode and got nothing from the gas peddle. Had a neighbor come and tow me home, and when I put the cart in tow mode the brakes were still activated.....we had to put dollys on the back tires to tow the cart home.......any ides????? I am new to carts and have no idea....thanks in advance

Re: 2014 rxv ezgo
On RXVs all braking is done by the motor expect for the parking brake which is fail safe to engaged. For some reason the parking brake was engaged.
To move, push, tow an RXV with the paring brake engaged: put the tow switch to tow and then turn key to neutral. Has to be done in that order. If that doesn't work there are instructions printed on the top of the controller cover by the tow switch. I can't help diagnosing why the brake engaged in the first place. |

Re: 2014 rxv ezgo
there's two red connectors under the plastic cover where the run/tow switch is (make sure it's in TOW when doing this). They're labeled "1" and "2" and "3" and "4".
1 connects to 2, and 3 connects to 4 normally. By reversing the connections the brake should unlock if it's any good. By my guessing you probably EOL'd the speed sensor which makes the car shut down and locks the brake. ANY and I do mean ANY moisture near that thing and it dies. |

Re: 2014 rxv ezgo
It's something you should be able to do. I can give you instructions on how to do if you want or do a search of the forum.
Only buy a OEM brake. |

Re: 2014 rxv ezgo
But if you put it in Tow and then turn the key switch to N the brake won't unlock?
