No Lights or Horn (Workhorse)

itbedave · 09-08-2014, 08:03 PM

We took our marching band's golf cart to get routine maintenance done on it - and discovered just recently that now the horn and lights won't work. (We hadn't needed it until recently.)

I've checked all the fuses. The battery is good. And the cart runs fine otherwise. I've wiggled and reconnected every connection I could find.

Where should I start? Do I have a grounding issue?

Thanks in advance!

What year?
What type drive system?
Is it a 36V or a 48V system?

Here is a accessory wiring diagram for a 36V system. A 48V system would be the same except for the 12V source.

There is no ground in an electric golf cart (or at least shouldn't be - electrical safety issues). so all accessories will have two wires and the frame/body is not connected to either side of the battery pack.

If the fuses are good, check for +12V to the fuse block. (Connect DVM's negative test lead to the main negative terminal of the battery pack)

Also, some carts will have a separate 12V for accessories or a DC to DC converter powered from the main battery pack.

I apologize - I had several tabs open and posted this in the wrong section. Our Workhorse is a gas cart. Again - sorry for the mispost.
