txt wiring issue

all the lite gauge wire has melted the cart belongs to my mom she bought a new battery and my brother put it in its a 36 volt system and they put a 12 volt battery in, its a non pds wiring system could it have damaged the control box the wires buy the plug look ok where the rest are melted

Yes it could have. Kind of a coin toss. hopefully the micro-switches melted right away and shut the cart off? But it does not sound like they did so maybe the controller is smoked.

thanx the micro switch on the foot control melted closed that I do know im going to attempt to rewire the harness wish me luck thanx again but first I have to change the 12 volt battery back to a six

Print this out. Good Luck


TXT solenoid activation circuit
Power starts on the White wire on the 36+ of the battery pack.
Power travels to the charger receptacle, goes through a reed switch inside the receptacle and comes out on the red 12 gauge red wire. ( check for power here, 1st!)
The red wire travels back through the loom to the Forward and reverse switch where it attaches to a micro.
The other side of that micro has a blue wire attached that runs under the cart to the front and arrives at the keyswitch.
The keyswitch then transfers power to a green wire which returns to the area of the Forward and Reverse switch.
the power then goes through a 4 pin Molex connector and travels to the "pedal Box" (located under the floorboard of the car) where it goes through a micro and comes out on another red wire.
That red wire comes back up to the Controller/F&R area where it once again goes through the 4 pin molex connector and continues on to the small post of the solenoid.
