2001 txt with new batteries. Dies and beeps
Hi All. I am new to this forum and the carting world. I bought a used 2001 ezgo txt with F/R switch on dash last year that wasn't running and needed new batteries. So I installed all new Trojan batteries and replaced the cables. They're fully charged as I checked them using a multi-meter. Anyway the first (and only) ride I went down the road for about 1 min. and it just died and beeped about 4-6 times. I wasn't expecting this so I turned the key off and on again and just drove it home and parked it. Any help on what I should be checking/testing would be great. Thanks

Re: 2001 txt with new batteries. Dies and beeps
2001 should be a PDS cart so put it in diag mode and listen for the beeps. Turn key off, flip fnr from n to r 5 times returning to n. That will give you 1 to 4 beeps telling you what mode it is in. Now drive it and listen then report back.. But from what you describe it may be the speed sensor..

Re: 2001 txt with new batteries. Dies and beeps
So last night I cycled between N&R 5 times. Heard one beep, then took it for a ride. After riding for at least 10min at varying speeds it didn't beep again. It ran fine the whole time. Not sure what happened the night before when it just died, seems fine now.

Re: 2001 txt with new batteries. Dies and beeps
Until you flip it to tow and back to run it will stay in diag mode which is okay. In the mean time check your wiring around the back passenger side battery. Bad spot for wires to get chaffed

Re: 2001 txt with new batteries. Dies and beeps
Ok I didn't know that. I will flip it to tow and then back again and see how it runs after that. And the cables are all new so that shouldn't be the problem. One thing I did notice is that I didn't have my cables stacked properly on one of the batteries. I had the cable that goes to the charging plug on the bottom instead of the cable that goes to the PDS box (not sure what its called) so I reversed them and now the charging cable is on top. Not sure if that caused the issue or not. Thanks for your help

Re: 2001 txt with new batteries. Dies and beeps
There are "wires" and "cables". Either set can cause problems, but if it ran OK, you're probably fine, wire/cable wise.
