Columbia Reverse Problem

av8er · 09-19-2011, 01:09 PM

I have a 2007 Columbia Par Car Elite.

Lately when I put the cart in reverse it hesitates and goes back a little slower. In reverse I apply the power to the cart and it sort of jerks going backwards. Going forward works just fine. The problem in reverse seems a little bit better after I've driven the cart.

Any ideas on the problem? Thanks

Its possible the encoder circuit is not functioning correctly. This could be caused by a a faulty encoder, the connection to the encoder, or the controller unit.

Thanks for the reply. For the last week it is being going into reverse fine?? Now I have a new problem and I don't know if it is related.

The other night I charged the golf cart in the same outlet that I've been using for quite a while and the next morning the outlet was dead. No circuit breakers on the circuit breaker panel were popped and I can't find a GFI outlet that needs to be reset. So I hooked the cart up to another outlet and it appeared to begin charging fine. The next morning the same thing happened, that outlet was dead. I'm now trying my third outlet.

Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

Charger draws max of 15 amps. Cord or the.plug on the cart at your seat maybe
