I can't get this 2001 36 volt EZ GO to work

rib33024 · 03-13-2013, 12:14 AM

need to lift the rear of the cart up and put it on jack stands, rear wheels off the ground so if it works it don't run over someone, need volt readings of the battery pack?,need to take the cover off the controller, and need to test the solenoid

I can do that. We did check each battery and all three were 12.4 to 12.6 volts each disconnected from each other.

you sure these batteries are good? , 12.4 x 3 is 37.2 that is 70 % charged. When is the last time you charged them with the cart charger?? have you load tested them?? you said the solenoid clicks when you press the pedal? does the reverse buzzer sound in reverse?

Does this wiring look right? Can you tell me where these wires go?
I am going to work on it tomorrow. Hopefully i can get it running.

My guess is that the 2 ring terminals go to the key switch.... and the 2 spade connections go to the reverse buzzer?

I will check the controller tomorrow and figure out if the solenoid is working.

Well, i got it going. I put a new clamp on the positive battery post, connected all 3 of the twelve volt deep cycle batteries back together and connected the red wire that goes to the battery charger plug to the positive side of the battery. And that thang took off after i flipped the switch to RUN from TOW and mashed the gas pedal. I still have to take the jumper out of the wires for the micro-switch and put in a new micro-switch and replace the connector for the charger plug, i think it is shorted somehow. Thank y'all very much for everything y'all are awesome Klang a lang
Oh yeah I checked the voltage on all the batteries and it was 37.4 volts DC

I do have another question, if i could please. Can i connect my twelve volt charger on those three batteries tonite and let them charge on 2 volts all nite.

No, not all three at the same time. (Unless you want to rewire them)
With a 12V charger, you can do one 12V battery at a time without disconnecting them.
With a 36V charger you can charge all three connected in series, the way they are used.

Does that mean i can fix the problem with the female charging connection on the cart and use the 36 volt charger?
Do i have to use 2 volt trickle charge or can i charge each one separately with 12 volts
