08 Drive Won't Move

drakesmix · 07-11-2016, 08:43 AM

We had a cart in our fleet quit after three holes over the weekend. We haven't had any problems before with it and the batteries are fairly new and weren't showing any signs of being bad. I haven't actually checked them yet but they are next on the list. I replaced the stop switch, solenoid, and throttle sensor and still nothing. Checked the fuse and that's fine as well. What could be next.

does the reverse beep & resist rolling when pushed (tow switch on)? does solenoid click when tow/run initally switched on?

Yes the reverse beeps and resists when pushed and the solenoid clicks.

Does the solenoid click when you push the pedal in both FWD and REV? What are your battery voltages? Sounds like your controller is working if it resists pushing like it should.

The voltages were all at least 12.6 something. I didn't write them down. I load tested them though and one of them seemed weaker than the rest. It clicked in both fwd and rev. I checked the fwd/rev switch anyways and that worked when replaced too.

I took the weaker battery and put it on a charger. It seemed fine when I tested it later and the cart still won't move after putting it back in. I'm really at a stand still as I've done everything I can think of that has fixed any of our other carts.
