2001 Club Car DS Troubleshooting

That is how it is supposed to be, leave it like that to test

OK, I took the first three measurements and they’re all over the place. None of them look like what you say they should be so I’m guessing throttle?

 

[Golf Cart Wizard]

The first one is key, the second two are throttle, if none make sense I would double check you are doing the test right. What were the results?

 

[I Luv Club Carts]

Red wire showing 0.6 ohms. Then assuming you’re saying that I plug directly into the clips coming off the yellow and green wires 12.95 ohms. Then in case you were actually asking about touching the clips on the controller 3.827 ohms.

Where are you measuring against? The red one you need to measure voltage, should have 48v with pedal down, put the negative on B- when measuring. The yellow and green you measure both wires with the meter don't connect anywhere else. Then you push the pedal down and watch to see if the reading changes

 

[I Luv Club Carts]

So all of my readings are with the pedal down. Reading one and two are correct.

 

[I Luv Club Carts]

Sorry they were taken correctly.

Ok new development. I reconnected the obc and now it will not charge. What else does the obc do, and could that be the problem?

And the solenoid doesn’t click

I just took a good look at the schematic and realized that all of the wires on my motor are in different places

The OBC can shut your cart down.. It does this to stop you from murdering your batteries by running them too low. The OBC recognizes when the batteries are charging. If this has not happened in awhile the OBC will shut your cart down. Have you ever been able to get the pack voltage above 46 volts?

 

[I Luv Club Carts]

No not yet.

 

[I Luv Club Carts]

Also I put the wires back in place with no luck.

I’m kinda done with this cart. I think I’m gonna take it to a golf cart shop and see if they can fix it. I might see if they would want to buy it. It’s currently for sale as is. Thank you for your help though.

Maybe you should change your name. Just saying.

 

[Notsoslim]

Astute observation

 

[Notsoslim]

With a resting pack voltage of 46 volts I would say that is your #1 problem. My guess is that any sign of a load and your pack drops below 40V. Until you remedy that you will not know if you have another problem.

Gee, thanks lol. I’ve had quite a few Club Cars in the past. Most of them were working or ended up just needing batteries. I just would much rather have one than an EZGO. I prefer not having rust. Also I forgot I jumped it over from my dad’s golf cart with a full battery pack and… no dice. Full battery but no movement
