EZ Go Crawls + Brake light ON
Hey guys, I have a 2013 Ezgo RXV and it is 48volts. The motor is an Iskra amt7109 48volt.
I was riding in the cart and I was forced to hit the brakes pretty hard. The cart immediately shut off and now it is in limp mode forward and backward. - I towed it home and charged it all night. - I tried pulling the brake back towards me. It has brand new batteries. The brake light seems to be stuck on as well! If anyone has any ideas please let me know! I am praying it doesn't need a full motor replacement. |

Re: EZ Go Crawls + Brake light ON
I believe we tried putting it in N and tow mode with no luck. I rolled it home on furniture dollys last night! Haha I will try to put in tow mode and neutral again and see if I can push it.

Re: EZ Go Crawls + Brake light ON
Brake lights always on is a indicator of brake test failures. Will need a new brake. But, feel lucky, almost none of those old "lever brakes" are still in service, you did good.

Re: EZ Go Crawls + Brake light ON
I agree with cgtech, hitting the brakes hard on anything other than grass usually results in destroying the "parking" motor brake. E-Z-GO uses it as an "emergency stop" brake, but it was designed to do that with much less traction. Larger tires, driving on pavement, carrying more load than 2 golfers with golfbags, ect... Those are beyong the design specs for the motor brake load condition. You probably grenaded the motor brake. The brake lights are activated by the controllers reading of the brake condition.

Also, is it possible that incorrectly torquing motor brake could lead to it still crawling? I tried to follow instructions but I am being hopeful that its an easy fix... :( |

Re: EZ Go Crawls + Brake light ON
Here you go.
Replacing the Park Brake on an E-Z-GO RXV Remove the two T27 torx screws on the rear cover Choke the wheels Disconnect the negative cable on the battery pack Turn the ignition key to reverse, wait till the reverse indicator becomes silent then turn key off Disconnect wire harness from motor brake Remove the three 10mm hex screws and lock washers from brake If bolts are rusty replace them Remove brake if there is residue on motor be sure to clean it use a wire brush Position the brake with the connector at the top, install the three hex screws loosely. Connect wire harness to the motor brake, re-connect battery negative cable Turn ignition to neutral, turn Run/Tow switch to Tow position, this provides power to the brake to align the disc material Set torque wrench between 53 to 65 in. lbs (6-8 Nm) and tighten screws to sure not to over tighten Turn key back to the off position Move Run/Tow switch back to Run position Put rear back cover on |
