PowerDrive 3 M#26560 Breaker Trips
Power Drive 3 not charging my 2007 Precendent; found the ciruit breaker tripped after two weeks away with charger plugged in on 2001 Precendent. Unplugged the charger from the cart, re-engaged the circuit breaker, plugged into cart - charger hummed as usual, but charging guage flickered for about 2 - 3 seconds and breaker tripped. Tried process again with same result. I'm a newbie at golf cart repair, but a decent handyman. Any ideas on where to start?

Rectifier or "diod tree" in the charger. Cheap and easy to fix. Download the manual from the sticky in this forum.

Re: PowerDrive 3 M#26560 Breaker Trips
The manual that Colby is talking about has a test senario for the rectifier. Quick and simple if you have a volt meter handy.
See below link for diagram of Powerdrive 3. #13 is the rectifier, #26 is the circuit breaker. Buy both and replace. You will be good to go. http://www.golfcartpartsdirect.com/e...tshow/295.html |

Thanks to all!!! Perfect answer. New Kit PD3 Button Diode and Circuit Breaker did the trick.
