91 DS Gasoline Club Car does nothing

DANICA1985 · 06-20-2009, 02:29 PM

Hi!!
I could really use some help.
I have a 91 DS Gasoline Club Car it is not working at all.

It did run a week ago, then it just died. I thought it was the battery and I replaced it, nothing.

Someone told me a solenoid, i replaced that.

Then someone told me the ignition switch and I replaced that.

I replaced the F & R micro switches, because I figured that might be it since the other two parts didn't fix it.

When I turn the key to on it does nothing and when I step on the gas peddle it does nothing.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope someone might be able to help!!

well my friend.with all the money you spent you could have( and should have) taken it to a pro instead of listening to guessers.
i am sure someone will be along to help you troubleshoot it;however,it is the weekend and you might not get an answer right away.have you checked your fuses?

Check the voltage and or the specific gravity on the battery with a voltmeter and hydrometer to be sure you have good source of cranking amps to start with then check that the engine has a good ground connection. Use the voltmeter and check a couple of bare metal surfaces. If no, locate and repair the engine ground cable.... Have you looked at the fuse and the micro switches in the black box where the solenoid was?

I'm going to have to go with Dock on this one!!!

Last winter, I disconnected my battery to work on my cart, (Clutches, belts etc..)

I had my s/g belt too tight (unknowingly)... it cranked once... then nothing!
I found I blew my fuse! (in the black box)... ummm... twice!

I loosened up my s/g belt... replaced the fuse, (the 3rd time)

And off I'm running! No problems since!

I recently purchased a 91 Club Car knowing the motor was bad. It had a locked up motor, which gave it the same symptoms as your cart. I would roll the drive belt off and grab the clutch and see if the motor will turn over by hand. You may need to remove the spark plug to make it easier. Just a thought.

Check the ground straps connecting the motor to the frame. My cart did the same thing and it was the ground strap came loose.
