2001 EZGO moves but shudders

Skinner · 11-12-2010, 05:03 PM

Sorry for the delay getting back. I've tried to put it in diagnostic mode but I do not get ANY Beeps. Key off. Brake on. Neutral to Rev 5 times---nothing! Tried this several times but no go. Any suggestions?

2 questions
1=Are you sure it is a pds cart?
2=Does the reverse buzzer normally work when the carts in reverse?

Yep, it's a PDS but no, I just checked and it does not beep in reverse so I better check that out! What might be disconnected and where do I find it? Thanks

the back up buzzer is behind the key switch plate in the dash.... if you are a contortionist ...... you can reach in under the front cowel, over the mud flap, and find it by braille ........ it should have 2 terminals & 2 wires going to it....... it is round.

Thanks! I'll give it a try. What if I am not "Rubber Man"? Is there another access point?

2 push rivets in the key switch plate... dealer or GC shop item to replace rivets. I have seen screws or ? used .... just drive the rivet centers on in with a nail and small hammer. Lift the plate up and out.....Blue switch wire is always hot

Thanks Scotty! I'll give it go in the morning. Have a good one.

Well, after popping the plastic mud flap retainer, I was able (Thanks Scotty) to reach in & find the reverse buzzer and reconnect the wire. I put it in diagnostic (2 beeps?) and then------------nothing! So I ran the diagnostic requiring running and got 4 beeps followed by 2 beeps. According to the info posted, this means "Motor stalled. Remove mechanical blockage." Would the blockage be something in the motor casing itself (broken contact or a piece of magnet?) or some other issue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
