Who to call for replacement speed conroller?

Neonjohn · 02-14-2015, 11:38 AM

My vin is JU2204645. I still haven't heard back from the shop. Is changing a speed controller something that requires special tools? I have a volt meter and can still print my name and somewhere around here I have an A&P license.

It's not really hard to do, you just need common sense. Switch the Tow/Run switch to Tow, unhook the main + and - connections from the battery pack, unbolt the controller connections, unbolt the controller. Repeat the steps in reverse order with new controller and you are good to go

Dang, it's a Moronic controller

Any G22-e serial# JU2-202130 and above used it. Talk to Scottyb about his suggestion. I personally have never used an Altrax, most cars in my area are gas. Good luck

For what its worth. The dealer finally decided the problem was the voltage reducer and fixed the problem.

Thanks for everyones help.

How does a voltage reducer make a car not run? Maybe it's time for me to retire, but I still have 6 years to go

Glad it worked out for you

It can happen with a rxv (seen 2 of em). Not quite sure how, but i wanted those electrical gremlins out of the shop pronto.

As little as I know about RXV's I can understand that if the battery voltage drops....electric brake locks up the car. Glad you work on and not me.

Glad i have all the schematics that are available to a ezgo dealer (being one), or i wouldnt want to try it either. If you understand what that motor brake is supposed to do, and not supposed to do, it makes more sense. That brake actually works off only .5 amps. I wish everyone here, and where i'm at understood it does nothing to do with slowing the cart down, only holding it stopped after it has come to a stop. Would be much easier.
