Re: '97 48V Battery light on intermittent & won't charge intermittent
I've been having basically the same problem with my 97 Club Car with the red light on the dash. For troubleshooting, I bypassed the OBC, and plugged in the charger, and it immediately came on and started charging. After hooking the OBC back up, red light on dash came on again, and charger would not kick on. I tried this several times, bypassing the OBC and charger kicks on. I have a new OBC on the way, supposed to be delivered Wednesday of next week. When it gets here and I get it installed, I sure as heck hope the charger comes on like it should!
I found instructions on how to bypass the OBC for troubleshooting in another thread here, but basically the following is what I did to bypass it. On the back of the charging receptacle is a grey wire with an in-line fuse. I unplugged the fuse receptacle, and wired from the side going in to the charging receptacle to the negative battery terminal on #6 battery, or the back driver side battery. Plugged in charger and it immediately kicked on. You might give this a try, and if your charger comes on and starts charging, it sounds like your OBC may be the problem. We had tried another charger on our cart with no luck, and our charger worked on another cart, so that ruled out charger problems. I'll post next week whether the new OBC fixed my problem. Good luck with yours. Bob |

You have the original light in the dash if it is red, the early OBC's had a high failure rate. Best guess OBC is bad. Check with sponsors for a price.

Re: '97 48V Battery light on intermittent & won't charge intermittent
As promised, I am posting to let you know that replacing the OBC seems to have fixed our cart. After replacing the OBC and plugging in the charger it kicked in after about 10 seconds, then shut off for a second and came back on and was charging away when I left it. Hopefully it will run great this weekend if I get to play golf because of all the rain we are getting!
Good luck with your problem, and check that OBC! |
