2014 w/factory battery gauge, battery warning light not working
Hi All,
:help::help: I recently bought a very clean 2014 with 6 month old batteries which are in great shape. The cart has a factory installed battery indicator gauge that works perfectly. On this year/model when you first connect the charger to the cart, and after a few seconds, the cart beeps three times and the light is supposed to flash three times (my other 2014 does this correctly) to indicate that correct charging is under way. Unfortunately the light does not illuminate or flash. I replaced the light with a OEM part but still no luck. The dash wiring harness does not look like it's been altered at all and all connections are tight. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this one. I'll be selling this cart to an older couple (80's) who really like the amber light to guide them and I need to get it fixed. The charger does work fine and batteries are being fully charged. Any ideas? :help: Thank you!!! Scott |

If you run the cart until the light comes on to tell you to put cart on charger. You are killing the batteries. You need to put a volt meter on it and tell them to not let the voltage drop below 48 volts before putting it on charge.:thumbup:

OP, have you tried swapping the charger to the other cart? At least that would narrow down the problem a little. Also, I heard that the chargers had a 4 year warranty. If it is the charger, that would be good news. |

The dash light is activated by the Curtis controller in the ERIC system.
Is the Controller sensing the charger being plugged and locking the cart? |

Well, the good news is that you have narrowed it down to the cart and not the charger. I'm not familiar with the ERIC system on the newer carts but have you at least tried to make sure all the connections to the controller are solid? No loose pins?
I wish I could be more help. I agree with you on selling things that are not right especially to people of that age. Kudos to you for persisting. :thumbup: |

I have to admit that I'm not that familiar with the 2014 models and haven't even touched a controller on them. I can check out the connections if you can point me in the right direction. My experience with Precedents is pretty much from 2008 models up through 2012s.

Re: 2014 w/factory battery gauge, battery warning light not working
Is it possible that the addition of the factory gauge prevents the battery warning light from flashing during the charging start process? I have 2 2014s. One with the factory gauge and one without. The cart without flashes its warning light when starting to charge and the one with the factory gauge does not flash. I wonder if this is normal?
