Club Car DS Series 48v No Go
I have a 98 48v DS (serial A9. I recently installed a D&D 4:2 motor and maintained all stock components. I realize I put the stock components at risk, and now I just need to determine which one failed.
I was out cruising for a while and stopped, without turning the key off, and then the cart would never move again in either direction. I was assuming that the V-glide or FNR switch (which was very hot at time of failure) were to blame. The cart will click but not move. I measure 50v on all 4 terminals on the motor with the key in any position and the negative probe on the last battery. Is that normal? |

Update: installed a HD FNR switch and nothing has changed. I may put the factory motor back in to see what happens.

Re: Club Car DS Series 48v No Go
im new to all of this but i did the upgrade on mine 01 ds and i would say that if you havent upgraded to a heavy dury solenoid it would be my guess what the problem is, also if you havent went with heavier cables it would be necessary to get correct power to the motor. like i said i am new to this but i have upgraded mine and went from around 11 mph to 21-22 and the grades that i drive up now are no longer a problem, im sure there are others more knowledgable who may chime in later, i hope this helps. you are on the right track but just need to finish up on the upgrade, good luck

Re: Club Car DS Series 48v No Go
I think I am mainly thrown off by the voltage being measured at the motor. I think I may replace the V Glide next since it smells like burnt electronics.

The voltage to the solenoid drops from 50v to 0 when I hit the accelerator, and then comes back up to 50 when I let off. Not sure what this tells me, if anything.

I'll keep talking myself through this, ha. Jumped the solenoid and we have movement. HD solenoid incoming.

I agree, this forum is great! I will update this thread after the solenoid is in. Fingers crossed.

Re: Club Car DS Series 48v No Go
it looks like you are on the right track here now sir and if you havent upgraded to 2 or 4 gauge cables i can tell you that upgrade will be necessary to get the full performance out of what you have already done. "the cables should be your last bottleneck to get where you want to be, Mike

Re: Club Car DS Series 48v No Go
I still have the stock controller (I know, I know, but I do not plan on keeping this cart). Will this solenoid hurt my controller? It says HD, but it does not look as HD as a 200 or 400a solenoid.
