I've had the cart about a month now and it has ran and seemed to be charging. Went to charge it today and the relay clicked but the charger doesn't move from zero. Not sure if the wiring has the charger not working. The charger would never go above 15amps a never would kick off. Told by previous owner he repaired the charger and it quit automatically shutting off. So I've just been charging it all day and pulling the plug at night after using the cart. Hope someone can point me in some direction.

Here is a iPhone picture of the batteries
Here is your problem. You have four 8 volt batteries, and the two on the far right side of the picture are 6 volt batteries. The cart is designed to run on 48v. You only have 44v worth of batteries.
