electric cart slows down

[thriftyats]

i have a 03 clubcar (not) IQ while driving it starts out fine then wants to slow down to a craw then speed back up batteries are taking a full charge any ideas?

1st make sure batteries and cables are all good, take voltage readings from batts. than load test....is iyt an IQ cart? does it have M-cor or is it V-glide........little more info if you can................................

batteries good all reading 8.2 to 8.4 load test good has m-core

could be M-cor going bad there are tests but you need manual unless its an 01 than i have the diagram for it but need an e-mail addy to send it...........................................

thanks tom,
it's an 03 reg not IQ, I'll try and find instructions to test mcor, I was also told it could be self adjusting brakes because it takes off then slows down each time I repress the gas pedal. It does this both in foward & reverse i guess we'll ck both

if its a reagan cart it could be the reagan breaking acting up......now if you don,t mind cutting a wire you can find out.......theres a 3 wire plug that comes out the front of the motor and one of the wires is green.......cut it and that disables the reagan braking but make sure to cut it so you can splice it back togather if thats not it.........you can cut it on either side of the connector but like i said do it so you can splice it back togather if you have to but this will either confirm or eliminate the reagan braking as the problem...................................

no not a regen, has the handle, not push button foward/ reverse just regular 03 clubcar any quick checks for that model?

[shadowman]

there are tests and diagnostic troubleshooting you can do however you need the servive manual as its a step by step in order while testing....................................
