91 club car wont go

[scottyb]

When you get time nick, give us a serial #
It is under the glove box on the passenger side near the floor.... you gotta alomonst put your ear on the floor to see it. Later

thank for the help guys the # is A9139264137

ok the dumb a** that i am just saw that the ground from the motor to the battery was not hooked up but, now the sileniod clicks really fast when i push on the gas only in foward just one click for reverse

[scottyb]

The multiple rapid clicks indicates low voltage ....... I dunno why you only get that in one direction? Might have something to do with the 1/2 power reverse ..... anyway what is the pack voltage....


We need to know if it is a resistor or controller cart to proceed .....

[nick619]

it is a resistor cart and the pack voltage is 37.5, i just tried putting the charger on it and it will spin the tires with them in the air, i check the pack voltage when i did that and it jumped down to about 10.0 and slowly climbed with the accelerator at full

[scottyb]

It sounds to me like you have battery problems? Cart runs fine on jacks on charger Rapid solenoid clicks without jack and charger........ You can test those batts with a hydrometer and a loadtester but I'll bet dollars to donuts ....... the batts are trashed

[nick619]

thats what i was afraid of. even if they will hold a charge?

You can still have a battery that dies when put under a load even if the voltage looks ok when the cart is at rest.

That's right Batteries typically fail under load. They will have surface voltage but........ You need a load tester to see the weakness.
A load tester can be the cart and a hill ..... tape the meter to the pack and lay it on the seat ..... then find that hill and watch the meter

Sounds like bad batteries.. I had the same results and it was my batteries.. Do a load test on all of them because standing voltage doesnt mean squat..
By the way, reverse only fires one solenoid and 5 forward (one at a time as you press the pedal).. Each solenoid that fires will apply more more..

I'm out the door right now to pick up some new batteries
