Confused!! PDS or DCS???
Just bought a cart kinda sight unseen. Was just told it was a 1999 txt and needed batteries and charger.... This is why I’m confused.. the date code does say it’s a 1999 but it appears to be a PDS. Rocker switch on dash for forward and reverse. Didn’t know they made a pds in 99??? I guess maybe the dash bezel has been changed and has the wrong serial number and date code maybe???? Thoughts??

Re: Confused!! PDS or DCS???
I'm pretty sure EZGO didn't make any PDS drive carts in 1999 and the PDS didn't have the F/R rocker switch on the dash until mid-2000, so I suspect a previous owner replaced the stock DCS F/R switch (lever by the knee) with a PDS rocker switch and a diode.
Might be easier to remove the controller cover than get to the motor. The DCS controller has one 10 pin plug on top and the PDS controller has 5 plugs on its front. |

Not uncommon to have swapped things out. People do stuff and sell it without saying a word. But if it has been done right your better off. The PDS is a much better cart than a DCS cart. Much! Johnny B is correct though look at the controller to see. |

That's the stock PDS controller. So some one either swapped it out after the DCS stuff stopped working are put a different dash on the front of it.

Your cart might be newer than 1999.
Lift the front of the back cover and there might be a label on the frame. Circled in red at left side on attached image. Also, if the steering box is mounted on the front axle, it is a 200.5 or later. |
