charging problem
Well I just spent a good part of the day swapping out my OEM controller for scottyb's XCT400PDS controller. I was ready to hop on and take it for a spin and I got nothing. I checked my batteries and it read 35.2 and 5.8 on all them individually. So I went to put it on charge. I have an ezgo charger and all it did was blink green and red real fast then went out. So my question to you all is where do I start. All my batteries are full of water and I just purchased them back last fall. I have kept it hooked up to the charger all the time. So I'm at a loss here. I also went over all the install instructions twice along with reading the thread about the install. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: charging problem
Looks like two problems.
1. Sounds like you have a Powerwise-QE charger. Attached is a list of fault codes and a picture of the best place for a PW-QE charger. 2. A XCT-PDS is pretty much Plug-n-Play (Electrically ), so you ought to be getting some sort of response from it at 35.8V. IE: four Green blinks (Programmed for ITS throttle) and then a Green blink followed by two Red blinks (Low battery - but depends on where the under voltage slider is set.) |

Re: charging problem

Re: charging problem
BTW: A XCT-PDS troubleshoots pretty much the same as a stock 36V PDS controller (Curtis 1206MX), but you do need the key on to get it to power up.

Re: charging problem
Ok I have gone over and gone over this and I see nothing wrong. I'm still getting nothing. I don't even have the led light lighting up. Man I hate wiring this kinda stuff. Gonna have to take a break and study the schematics a little more. It has to be something simple.

Re: charging problem
I might be able to help with charger issue.
If charger has no AC power-- status light flashes red/green for about 1~2 seconds then goes out. check for tripped breaker or othe AC power issue to charger. |

Re: charging problem
Ok I didn't think about something like that. That never crossed my mind that it could be a breaker. Heading down there right now.

Re: charging problem
Well it wasn't a breaker. I did however take the back of my charger and it looks like I have a small fuse blown in it. Should be an easy fix. I still have not gotten any power to the controller but there is always tomorrow. johnnieB can you send me a pic of your controller and solenoid so I can see if it's in my wiring? Thanks guys
