Default 2012 Club Car Precedent No Power

Hi all, I have a 2012 Club Car Precedent that has no power. Here's the symptoms/things I've tried:
- When cart is flipped from tow to run, while the cart is in reverse, the backup buzzer chimes for 1 second, then cuts off.
- When Plugged in, charger recognizes the the cart but does not kick on.
- So far, I've replaced the MCOR, Forward/Reverse Switch, Solenoid, OBC, the two fused I could find, Key Switch, and Speed Control Sensor.
- Tried to do the weird OBC reset but had no luck.
- Batteries read 50+ Volts the whole time they are hooked up.

Any other thoughts? I'm running out of things to replace lol
Thank You!4

I'm an idiot. I replaced the controller, not the obc. Trying that today so fingers crossed

I hope it does it for you. Those are mighty expensive parts to be throwing at it!

Any update on a fix?
I have a 2010 Precedent that is doing the exact same thing. I assumed that the batteries had drained over the winter and the OBC wasn't recognizing the drop.
I've googled the backup buzzer chiming for 1 second, with no luck.

Thanks in advance!

Bump in hopes for a response...

After testing my batteries individually, I found that several of them were "bad". I wasn't sure on the age of the batteries, as I bought it used, so I decided to go ahead and make the small investment of replacing all 6.

As excited as I was after replacing the batteries, all excitement came to an immediate halt, as the problem did not go away.

I have tested the F-N-R switch, and the ignition switch, both were good. After reviewing the expensive parts that were replaced above, I think my next steps are to try the OBC bypass temporarily to rule it out, and then try bypassing the tow/run switch.

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Does the reverse buzzer work...You stated that it only sounds for a second...Did it work fine before your problem..

To bypass the lockout side of the obc, disconnect the 6 pin connector from it and jump the blue and white wires on the harness side not the obc side of the connector with a paper clip...

The cart worked perfectly prior to letting it sit for a couple of months during the cold / rainy weather. When I drove it for the first time, the cart worked fine until the end of my driveway, when it basically died. I tried plugging the charger back in, no response. If I left the cart in reverse, and flipped the tow/run switch from tow to run, the buzzer would beep for a second and quit. Even after replacing the batteries, I wanted to make sure that everything worked, so I plugged the charger in, but it still doesn't kick on, and the symptoms are all the same.

I will try the bypass that you mentioned to see if that works.

Glad I could help...You can bypass those 2 wires permanently whichever way you want to do it...Just be aware that the cart will run when the charger is plugged in...It will still charge normally...

We Amazon Primed a new OBC. With a 1 year old and 2 year old that wants to drive everything, it wasn’t worth the risk.

New OBC installed in about 15 minutes and we went for an evening cruise.
