EZGO TXT series 36v will only move on jack stands
Hi guys! First time posting so bear with me. I have a 99 EZGO txt series cart that I bought not running. I put brand new battery’s in it and turned the cart on and heard the solenoid click but the cart would not move. I then decided to put the cart inside and jacked the rear end up and noticed the wheels would turn but in the wrong direction. So I searched the threads and found a wiring diagram and tracked everything down and found a few wiring problems. I fixed those and the cart is now running in the right direction but at minimal speed. The controller is a 3 prong controller and I thought they were suppose to be 4? I saw another thread on that but I think I have everything wired up correctly. I’m starting to think the controller might be bad. ANY Tips or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Voltage is good. How long have they been off the charger?
Still looks like weak battery situation to me. |

Re: EZGO TXT series 36v will only move on jack stands
I just bought them yesterday. I have another cart exactly like this one in my garage as well and these battery’s ran it full speed for about 20 seconds and i took them back out and put them in this cart and tested the pack. This cart the wheels still barely turned. I’m thinking more that my F&R or controller are going bad.

Re: EZGO TXT series 36v will only move on jack stands
OK. So now we have 2 carts in the equation. Was the second cart ran for 20 seconds in the air or on the ground?

Re: EZGO TXT series 36v will only move on jack stands
only one cart that doesn’t run properly. I switched the brand new batteries back over to the cart that did run properly on jack stands for 20 seconds and took it for a cruise around the block this morning and it worked perfectly. What i am trying to point out is that the battery’s are brand new and charged and work fine in the exact same series cart that I have.

Your 20 year old motor is sick, A thought; continue with the "Parts Swap" troubleshooting, you feel it may be the controller, well swap them out and note any performance differences. Swap out the motor......A DYI has basically free labor so take advantage of that.

LabRat that’s what I will try next. Thank you! Also this morning when I was messing with it some more. The passenger side tire was spinning and the driver side wasn’t.

They’re on a differential... one can spin while the other remains stationary
