Re: 2004 Club Car DS 36 charging issue
From my own experience the positive wire coming from the charge receptacle should be going to battery main +, even though it shows it going to the F/R switch for some reason...I bet it's going someplace where it only completes that part of the circuit when the car is running instead of when it's stopped.

Re: 2004 Club Car DS 36 charging issue
It's wired from the charge port straight to the main positive battery terminal. And negative is the same, straight to the main negative. Quick question. Could it have something to do with the solonoid? When I press the gas it makes a strange noise but it won't move because It's not charged enough. Could the charging issue be the solonoid. It's been sitting a while.

Re: 2004 Club Car DS 36 charging issue
The solenoid should have nothing to do with charging at all if it's wired correctly. Do you have a multimeter? Probe the receptacle itself and tell us what the voltage is. Does it even show voltage?
I do know if you have a fully electronic charger (not one with a timer knob) it won't charge or charge correctly if your battery pack volts drop enough, like ~2-3 volts under where they should be (on a 36V, if the main volts go to ~34-33 the charger won't bloody attempt to do anything.) |

Re: 2004 Club Car DS 36 charging issue
Sounds like You have a bad battery in the series, pressing the pedal is completing the circuit for the charger through the solenoid coil.
If You measure the voltage in each battery as You try to move, one of them will likely go to 0v. This is assuming You already verified your cables are not corroded to the point of falling apart. Here is a better wiring diagram: |

Re: 2004 Club Car DS 36 charging issue
I've also seen a battery in a series REVERSE its polarity (negative is positive, positive is negative!) causing similar issues, too.
