Question G19 Doesn't M0ve

One day we had it on the charger and without thinking which is a normal thing for me I jumped on the golf cart and moved it three feet or so. The next day I went to drive it and it hasn't moved an inch since that day. Sometimes it feels like the golf cart wants to move but it only feels like a little tug.

This could be many things,Lets try simple first. Was your charger on "green/fully charged" ?. Are all your battery cables free of corrossion and tight ? (pull on them and see if they brake loose). Take a volt meter and find out what the voltage is of all the batteries hooked togeather (should be 48 to 52 volts) If not reply to post with reading. If good voltage, Turn your key switch off and Put your "Run/Tow" switch into "Tow" for 5 minutes. This "drains" voltage from the computer (and about 75 percent of the time) when you put back into the "Run" position you will hear a solenoid "click" and the car will now run. Try these things fist and post what voltages and what did or not happen and will try to diagnoss further. Good luck Dave

Sounds like you found the problem. You should have 48 volts on both red/yellow and red wires when in the switch is in the "run" position. Dave
