EZGO J402 motor runs but cart won't move

chucksezgoj402 · 06-23-2009, 03:42 PM

I am having a problem with my EZGO J402. I checked the batteries - OK 37.6 volts, wiring OK, drive motor runs, but cart won't move. Any suggestions?????

Pull the dust cover on the hubs and see if the axle nut turns when motor runs. If yes = stripped hub (aka brake drum)
Also, if that battery voltage is after a full charge, you probably have battery issues as well. One bad one can stop that era cart. Is it a PDS?

When you replace the hub, tighten the castle nut "tighter than gornoman in spandex"

and then tighter to align for cotter pin. DO NOT BACK OFF. I think the spec is 90 ft lbs, but I routinely put more than that on them.
