2009 EZGO RXV controller upgrade.
Good evening, I bought a 2009 Ezgo RXV and I think I may need to replace the controller since it doesnt do anything at all. No beep when in reverse ,no solenoid click when pedal is press, battery bank is at 49volts but still nothing. So I am leaning into getting a new controller. What is the best controller to get for speed with the rxv with a stock motor?

You can do some things before if you want to.

49v is not a good starting reading. Time to study up. Rxv is picky about voltage & bad batteries, and 49v at rest is not a good starting point.

Then I approached the problems that may prevent the rxv starting. See above. I Isolated and tested. I verified the wiring for each accessory checking for bad connection that might cause a short. I used a hand held battery dremel at low speed to clean both sides of any dirty connection to ensure good contact. Then I made my own test leads to check my acessories. 1st just one at a time for shorts. Then put power to 48v -12v reducer to see if that it was working. Along with fuse box. I took out the fuses to see if the diodes showed blown fuse. After putting fuses back in then tested all my accessories powered by reducer. More to come |

Another question, if it dont pass one of the test will the cart still act like it doesnt have any power or will you still see some kind of action when you turn the key or press the accelerator? |

Depends where it fails.
Remember Originally Posted by kernal This is a summary of the RXV power up test. I copied this from a member but can't remember who exactly. Probably cgtech, usgicollector, bob boyce or hightech red neck Quote: The RXV golf carts are some of the most sophisticated carts in existence. One of the things that many people don't know about with the RXV is that they have what is called a "power-up sequence." During this sequence a number of checks are made, and if any of them fail the vehicle will not run. I have been told you can progress up and hear a single solenoid click, but then there is another failure. Someone adviced me that the cart may not recognize that the charger is unplug. They gave me a pin number on the 23 pin, but I'm not at home. What I do remember was testing the three prong charger inlet at the driver's feet. One is the ground and if you connect + from meter to the other 2 I got same voltage as battery pack. Several websites let you call for troubleshooting help. I think they do to also sell you parts. Consider calling one of them. Also review the wiring diagrams. A wrong wire on any component may be trouble some. When my cart wouldn't power up, no solenoid click or reverse beeper, I replaced my motor brake by flipping the 1/2 3/4 under the run tow switch. That provide power to the brake and it released. As I replaced it my socket was constantly being pulled by the magnetic force. And the brake warmed up. Remember to torquing to proper measure. That solenoid required 35lbs to large post and 15lbs to smaller. The motor brake had a range. I wish I could help more. I'm just a rookie. |

Re: 2009 EZGO RXV controller upgrade.
Your best bet would be not to start just throwing parts in this cart.
First you need a battery charger. Get pack fully charged and keep it that way. Second start looking for someone with a Danaher handheld to help you figure out what is wrong with your cart. Yes you'll have to probably pay them for there help. |
