Hello-

Just bought a fleet 2007 PDS 36v EZ-GO for my wife and kids. Ran perfectly...until I decided to clean up the terminals on the batteries and motor. While tightening one of the motor terminals, my wrench touched another terminal on the motor shooting a huge spark.

Unfortunatly, I didn't unhook the power cables nor turn the tow/run switch to "tow" before I started. Now the cart won't move in forward or reverse. I put the cart in diagnosis mode and all I got was the confirmation beep. No fault beeps heard.

I went through diagnosis flowchart (from one of your sticky threads) for the controller, solonoid, and motor. Both the controller and solonoid passed every test with perfect voltage readings. However the motor failed all tests except for some of the continuity tests.

I am new to golf carts, so could you guys give me some ideas as to what my options are in terms of a replacement motor? Can I upgrade to a faster one or one with better torque without changing the battery pack or controller?

Thanks in advance for your help!
