older club car DS
trying to help a neighbor. It's a club car DS V-glide resistor cart. The cart was not running doing nothing, So I tow it to my house to test a few things and find the cart had a new forward reverse switch installed. after looking something didn't look right. I go to the sticky section for wiring this is what I found. the main positive was on the lug for the S-1 the S-1 was on the battery lug and the neg battery was on the neg post of battery or number 5 battery or the battery on the driver side rear. plus I was getting the reverse buzzer going off with the key off and the shift lever in forward.
So I change it all back like the information on the sticky and the cart now runs like new money, only by the time I took the cart back to his house I could smell hot wires and it wanted to stop running. The question is could a part in the system be starting to fail from the backward wiring. After I clear a spot in my carport I may ask for the cart back then put it on jackstands to see what is heating up. |

Re: older club car DS
It could’ve just been the resistors you smelled, or it could be something worse. The cables going to the resistors melting , arcing in the V-glide, and melted battery cables are all common on resistor carts...
