Batteries Fail to Charge

Then worked to reset the OBC but this process did not work per process in posts in this forum. Drive still did not engage.

Then called in advanced technical support....(ie, friend in neighborhood) we then removed the control panel in the battery box to review wiring and ensure no loose wires. When drive activated, it sounded like solenoid would not engage, and after applying advanced technical diagnostics (ie, wiggling wires and finding no loose connections, etc)......drive engaged and cart now runs and charge fine.

Root cause analysis failed but problem solved (for now) and cart continues to run and charge well.

. . . now you know why cart owners have gray hair . . or none at all . . .

Might need to ask for the Super Advanced Tech Support as there might be a loose connection somewhere after all
