2007 EZDO PDS won't move
here's the issue.........had the cart at work and run it around from my office to the shop. It was super dirty/dusty/muddy. We had the power washer/steam genie out the other day washing our strait truck, and I had one of guys hose the cart off, he then lifted the seat and washed off about an inch of dirt off the batteries LOL. After an hour, I ran the cart around and it was fine. an hour later, We went to move it, and it wouldn't go. The last battery in the series has a burnt spots around the connection. You put it in fwd/reverse, solenoid clicks and the 1st battery in the series arcs ???? I went back to the shop and cleaned some of the terminals, checked voltage to rule that out. Is the controller now bad? With the key off, I hooked up the first battery from the controller area and as I looped it back on the batt. it arcs?? I need help on this. Not sure where to even start.

Re: 2007 EZDO PDS won't move
Arcing at batteries indicates a bad connection or short in the battery. Check the pack voltage drop when you try to go after you check the arcing connection.

Re: 2007 EZDO PDS won't move
First of all, never disconnect or reconnect any a PDS cart's wires or cables without placing the Run/Tow switch in the Tow position.
Where, specifically, on the battery is the arcing occurring? Could be a bad cable, or a bad battery post, or a bad terminal lug on the cable. |

Re: 2007 EZDO PDS won't move
I'll take some pictures at work tomorrow. When i unplugged tow/run switch from controller, and have the first battery unhooked i would set the cable coming from controller that starts the series on the battery and it would arc. A meter shows 36.7ish volts in the battery pack. The last battery(pass side closet to front) has a burnt spot on terminal. Not sure if a battery or conttoller is fried or both.

Re: 2007 EZDO PDS won't move
I think your only problem is a messed up battery terminal from loose connection. The last remaining corrosion making the connection was washed away by pressure washer. Getting a small arc when reconnecting battery is not unusual, a huge blinding arc is not normal. The battery terminal can likely be repaired. Try unhooking the sparking terminal to see how badly the lead below the cable is melted.
