07 Precedent Not charging after wire corrosion
I have a 2007 Precedent 48v that I replaced the batteries on recently with Trojan batteries. It is lifted. The kids were riding around and said that it quit running. I went and looked and one of the cables was pinched between the seat and one of the battery terminals was melted. I noticed that the cables looked corroded. I bought new 3 gauge wire and replaced the wiring from battery to battery and from the controller and solenoid. I plugged the charger in and it didnt do anything. I know that the charger is still working because it charged another cart. What do I check next?

Re: 07 Precedent Not charging after wire corrosion
Did you replace the negative battery wire that goes through the OBC? That wire has to go through the OBC or cart wont charge.

Re: 07 Precedent Not charging after wire corrosion
I am doing this all on my own so OBC?
I just disconnected all of the wires from the solenoid (+) and controller(-) and the 3 that are connecting the batteries and replaced them. I reconnected them just like they were. Did I miss something? I could have because I did it on my own. |

Re: 07 Precedent Not charging after wire corrosion
The main negative wire going from the battery pack to b- on controller goes through a little hole in what is referred to as an "on board computer". Is that how yours was and is that how you rewired it?

I didn't run it through that hole. I forgot to run it through there when I crimped the ends. So, it wont charge unless the wire runs through that hole?

It's true, if batteries are too weak charger will not kick on and you will have to charge them individualy to bring them up high enough so your charger will work.
