Re: charger will not come on
try resetting the OBC
Resetting the Club Car On board computer - reset the OBC To reset the OBC the following must be done in this order: If no Tow/Run Switch then skip that step • Key Switch to Off • Forward/Reverse to Neutral • Tow/Run Switch to Tow • Disconnect the Battery NEGATIVE (–) wire from the Battery Minus terminal on the battery pack. • Put the Tow/Run to Run • Forward/Reverse Switch to Reverse • Key Switch to On • Press the throttle pedal down (hold it to the floor) The reverse buzzer will sound (sometimes) and go off in about 30 seconds. Leave the cart like that for 5 min to cause the OBC to reset. After 5 min release the throttle pedal To reconnect the OBC back into the system: • Key Switch to Off • Forward/Reverse Switch to Neutral • Tow/Run switch to Tow • Reconnect the Batt – wire to the battery minus terminal on the battery pack. • Tow/Run switch to Run • Key Switch to ON if charger will not come on do a OCB by pass OBC bypass DO AT YOUR OWN RISK.…do not attempt unless you are familiar with electricity and electronics! There are two ways to force the charger to turn on regardless of the OBC. The first method is to disconnect the cart’s gray wire at the fuse near the charger receptacle. Then using a jumper wire, connect the receptacle side of the fused connector to the cart’s negative battery terminal. This will energize the charger’s 48V relay. If the charger doesn’t come on, it could be bad connections, wiring or charger relay. The second method is to open the charger and remove the 120V wires from the relay and jump these together. This totally bypasses the relay and the OBC wire. (If charger comes on but the charger ammeter shows 0 amps, check the fuse at the charging receptacle under the clear plastic cover.) Both of these methods should both be temporary measures for troubleshooting, or as an emergency method of charging the batteries when they have been discharged so far that the OBC will not charge them. The OBC provides the optimum method of charging the cart’s batteries. If the OBC is bad, it should be replaced Last edited by crash test dummy; 06-16-2014 at 10:00 PM.. Reason: spelling |

Re: charger will not come on
I had a similar issue with a much easier fix/result. Nothing was wrong with my charger. However behind where the plug goes into the golf cart.........I found a loose wire in the back of the receptacle. I fixed the connection and the charger works great.
Hope your issue is that simple. |

Re: charger will not come on
97 & 98 are DS carts
there are 2 types of drive systems F/R switch is a fast way to tell what you have a rocker switch or a handle which do you have ? |
