Default Ezgo 36v series Dvm readings

2001 ezgo 36v series... no go. Solenoid clicks. DVM readings across B- and -M @ the controller are only 1.5 v, shouldn't this be close to pack voltage?

When pedal is pushed only far enough for the solenoid to click, you should read full battery pack voltage between B- and M- terminals on controller.

If you don't you have an open (or high resistance) in the high current loop.

Here is a schematic with the high current circuit highlighted.
Leave the negative test lead connected to B- and go searching for the missing voltage.

With a series drive system, chances are high the problem is in the F/R switch contacts.

Thanks for the help JohnnieB. Ran these test, found 6 gauge from f/r switch C to A2 on motor was corroded into. Rolling again!

Glad you found and fixed it.

Do your cart and yourself a favor and replace all 13 of the high current cables with 4Ga or heavier.

The cables should be constructed with high strand count (600+) copper conductor welding cable. The terminal lugs should be the enclosed end type with no exposed wiring and the gap between the lug and insulation should be sealed air tight.

hi guys! been a while! just wanted to say hi... and I recently installed Scotty's cable upgrade kit 4ga. Nice cables and even though I had 4ga on almost everything there was a smaller cable(forgot which one) in the control box. Anyways I can feel the difference!!

Anyways great cables.. oh and I installed Scotty's DMV on the dash... works and looks great.
