Cart clicks out and looses power.

[Shazo]

Carts been down for a little while as I replaced my accelerator peddle assembly and my hill brake assembly. Good news is now the peddle doesnt stick and the hill brake works. I went through the other post and and I do believe I need the drop out harness but after searching online iv came up short. Is there another name for it? Anyone happen to have a link where it can be purchased?

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOUR F/R SWITCH IS NOT MAKING GOOD CONTACT BC THE HEAT IN THE CABLE FROM YOUR MOTOR TO FR SWITCH IS MELTING YOUR COPPER CONTACTS IN THE F/R SWITCH. I have posted here before and they throw all kinds of WCScenarios at you when its usually a simple fix. i am thinking but not for sure its ultimate problem is a resistor of some sort causing to much heat. check the fr switch. most likely the problem full disclosure, i know nothing about carts or electricity just speaking from dumb luck experience

He has an IQ car, which has a toggle switch F-R, no copper contacts. It is not the problem

It should be wild *** scenarios and yours would take the cake.

Took it around today after checking the connections yet again and crossing my fingers and hoping for some unknown reason it would magicaly be fixed! It is not..., in forward it speeds up the coasts, speeds up then coasts, speeds up then coasts.... and for the sake of redundancy. .... speeds up then coasts. The duration of the acceleration and coasting are not constant and dont seem to be caused by bumps or anything. Its very sporadic. I drove the cart in reverse for a block or so and it was slightly slower then top speed in forward but seemed constant with no coasting.
Does this still sound like a drop out issue? And could someone point me in the right direction on where to purchase one? I have read that this is a thing but have yet to find one.

see i told you i know nothing about carts. but i learned about IQ today from y'all

however i stand by my WCS statement and in no way disparage this forum. the help it gives guys like me is immeasurable.

WCS is simply a human condition.

now why don't one of you cart geniuses check out my post 99CC48V hot battery cable and throw some WCS' or even some ideas at me, I would be much obliged

The beeping alarm is disabled on my cart. Yah the MCOR4 was a very straight forward and easy install. I had a lot of trouble with the other side of my peddle assembly. The peddle had been sticking because the bearing were seized and the shaft was seized to one of the bearings..... very difficult assembly to remove in that state.

Yes, they wanted an hours labor to install at the shop, $75. It took me about 20 minutes for the swap out after I read the instructions and that included the disconnect/connect of the batteries. It ran great here on the neighborhood streets.
