Default Re: Club Car ds big electrical issues.

That's why I questioned it........ The smell you were smelling was probably not the controller, but the motor. You need to unhook the battery pack from your cart ASAP. The motor has developed an internal short for whatever reason. Broken brush spring, broken winding, separated armature, or who knows what else, it could be anything. I've seen motors do this before. They'll run for a little while after you overheat them, but when you take them apart the brushes turn to dust. The point I'm trying to make is that the motor crapped out on you and shorted out the controller. If you keep running it you're gonna short out the new controller too.
