Ezgo
The pre charge resistor gets so hot, in a matter of seconds, that it can not be touched. Is this normal?
Thanks |

Only happens when the solenoid is not closing and the controller is asking the motor to run.
If it is an Ezgo we need to get this thread moved to the Ezgo section and help you figure out which drive system you are asking us about - see below while I seek admin help. |
Re: Ezgo
I think it is a series setup. Just checked and it's too hot to touch, even after sitting off for 2 hours. The cart has difficulty climbing slight grades, but good on level ground. At times quits running, but will restart after several tries.
Again thanks for your help. |
Re: Ezgo
I have seen this before with controllers that are failing.

Re: Ezgo
Remove the resistor. It is not needed to run.
Does the solenoid click when you try to go? |
Re: Ezgo
Yes. The solenoid seems fine. Any idea on the problem w/ grades and failure to start every once and awhile.
THANKS |
Re: Ezgo
Grades cause the motor to draw max amperage which causes the controller to heat up which may push the controller in thermal shut down until it cools sufficiently.

Re: Ezgo
From a dead stop it's only a slight grade of 3% and cart barely moves a few inches. Take a running start and it makes it easily.

Re: Ezgo
It takes more power from a stand still. I would test battery pack voltage when the cart starts out slowly on the hill first.

Re: Ezgo
What year is your cart? I have a '98 and the solenoid started getting intermittent. It was random, not based on uphill or downhill.
