Default 1995 club car bad obc?

95 club car 48v. New batteries and cables. Charger was kicking on and off and now wont do anything. Did the test by jumping from the fuse socket to the negative and the charger began to hum but nothing on the ammeter. Is the obc most likely bad? If so is there any way i can just bypass it and use the charger without it? Cheap cart to mess around the house with and not really wanting to put more money into it.

I would first try a reset, probably won't fix anything, but worth a shot. Then I would bypass using the following information. If the charger works, it will charge like normal, but will never shut off, so make sure you keep an eye on it!
If the bypass works, you can either replace OBC or get a DPI (later option is better IMO).

Resetting the Club Car On board computer - reset the OBC

To reset the OBC the following must be done in this order:

If no Tow/Run Switch then skip that step

• Key Switch to Off
• Forward/Reverse to Neutral
• Tow/Run Switch to Tow
• Disconnect the Battery NEGATIVE (–) wire from the Battery Minus terminal on the battery pack.
• Put the Tow/Run to Run
• Forward/Reverse Switch to Reverse
• Key Switch to On
• Press the throttle pedal down (hold it to the floor)

The reverse buzzer will sound (sometimes) and go off in about 30 seconds.
Leave the cart like that for 5 min to cause the OBC to reset.
After 5 min release the throttle pedal

To reconnect the OBC back into the system:
• Key Switch to Off
• Forward/Reverse Switch to Neutral
• Tow/Run switch to Tow
• Reconnect the Batt – wire to the battery minus
terminal on the battery pack.
• Tow/Run switch to Run
• Key Switch to ON

plug cart into charger ... if it charges let it runn till it shuts offf ... if it does not start then do an OBC by-pass


to by pass OCB
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK.…do not attempt unless you are familiar with electricity and electronics!
There are two ways to force the charger to turn on regardless of the OBC.

The first method is to disconnect the cart’s gray wire at the fuse near the charger receptacle. Then using a jumper wire, connect the receptacle side of the fused connector to the cart’s negative battery terminal. This will energize the charger’s 48V relay. If the charger doesn’t come on, it could be bad connections, wiring or charger relay.

The second method is to open the charger and remove the 120V wires from the relay and jump these together. This totally bypasses the relay and the OBC wire.


(If charger comes on but the charger ammeter shows 0 amps, check the fuse at the charging receptacle under the clear plastic cover.)

Both of these methods should both be temporary measures for troubleshooting, or as an emergency method of charging the batteries when they have been discharged so far that the OBC will not charge them.

The OBC provides the optimum method of charging the cart’s batteries. If the OBC is bad, it should be replaced

I did an OBC reset, no dice. Then I tried to follow the instructions, "connect negative on battery 6 to the receptacle side of the grey wire on the charging receptacle", no dice. I read instructions elsewhere that said simply connect the negative on battery 6 to the black wire on the receptacle. That worked and my cart is charging. Posting in case anyone else runs into this issue.

dot, best to start your own thread and the details of your own cart and issue. That way we can help you with specifics. Generally, if it is a plain Series OBC, it is just the Black 10g wire and the grey sense wire from the back of the charge receptacle ran to the Main Pack Negative post. This is normally on the drivers side with the one cable that runs to the back of the cart. If it is something else, we have to go further.
