Joined Air Force to avoid getting drafted into Army, but still got shot at and collected a little shrapnel. I started out in communications electronics, then got into COMINT, SIGINT and ELINT with a little ECM and Counter-ECM mixed in. After 10 years, I crossed over to Bio-Medical Equipment Repair and ended up teaching Troubleshooting before entering the civilian job market for a lot better salary. Got into managing clinical engineering operations in multiple hospitals, and picked up on some accounting, regulatory and legal stuff along the way. Fortunately, my existing skills, knowledge and experience blends well with what makes golf carts tick, but I am still learning about them also. |

Re: Motor Burned down 05 PDS
Ok I have a whole new set of problems now, My brother has the same cart I do, and just to be sure it was my motor that was bad, I pulled his motor and put it in my cart and ran perfect, So i put the motor back in his cart wired everything back up and it wouldnt go forward at all but would go in reverse, so I took the cover back off the back to check my wiring, and the motor was very hot and I only moved a total of 5 feet, so what did i tear up on his cart and how?
I disconnected batteries on both carts before doing anything and I didnt reconnect them until all wiring was complete, If I have burned up his controller, I may just be out the golf cart business for a long while.. I called scottyb but he wasnt able to get to the phone and Im waiting on a call back. any ideas....if you had rather talk on the phone PM me a number and Ill call. thanks JB |

Re: Motor Burned down 05 PDS
You didn't mention flipping Run/Tow switch to Tow while disconnecting/reconnecting wires.
If you didn't, it may have blown one or both controllers. ----------- Does the solenoid click when pedal is pushed? |

Re: Motor Burned down 05 PDS
Measure the voltage on the solenoids controller side main terminal when the solenoid is energized.
It should be identical with the voltage on the Battery side main terminal. If not, the solenoid's contacts are not closing. |

Re: Motor Burned down 05 PDS
Ok so I checked solenoid and all was well there and just to be sure I put my heavy duty solenoid on his controller but all was the same, except I did notice with key off and switch in tow mode the resistor got to about 250 degrees in about 10 seconds.
I went back to check continuity on motor wires and with motor hooked up to the cart there was full continuity between A1 and A2 and there was continuity between f1 and f2, however when checking between the As and Fs there was also continuity but none between any stud to the case.....So I removed the motor from the cart and then there was no continuity between the As and Fs any more. I then just checked wires going from motor back to controller and there is continuity between As and Fs ,so what does that mean? thanks again for the support. JB |

Re: Motor Burned down 05 PDS
I'm not sure how R&R the motor in you brother's cart could have blown the controller or what a bad controller in your cart could have done to his motor that would have caused it to blow his controller when his motor was reinstalled in his cart, but that is what I suspect has happened.
His motor ran in your cart, so you may just need a motor. His motor will no longer runs right in his cart, but it did run in your cart, so he may just need a controller. |
