48 volt moves an inch then stops
Have a 1999 48 volt club car.Put a load on batteries and they check out fine.Reading from full pack is 55-56.Do you think that is high?The problem is when I push the pedal down to go forward, the cart will only try to move forward but actually only move maybe an inch then stop.It will not go in reverse at all.I bypassed the OBC and the cart still did not work.The solenoid next to the control box in the rear has a resistor that is burned and I am going to replace.Do you think that would cause that scenario to occur?What do you guys think?Thank you much for any assistance

Re: 48 volt moves an inch then stops
The solenoid is bad,usually when they get about 10 or so years old the solenoid will go bad.

Re: 48 volt moves an inch then stops
so we replaced the solenoid as well as the resistor that is on it and that did not solve the problem.Do you think it could be the speed control box?

Re: 48 volt moves an inch then stops

Re: 48 volt moves an inch then stops
Cart goes 1 inch because it is running on the pre-charge from the resistor.
Does the solenoid click each time you try to go? Can you verify that there is no drop in pack voltage when you try to go? |

Re: 48 volt moves an inch then stops
Well I wanted to make sure I responded with the outcome on this cart. It ended up being the batteries in this case. You can not stress enough how important voltage is for electric carts. Even a couple volts. Thank you all for your time.

Re: 48 volt moves an inch then stops
. . . many times when issues arise, it is recommended that all batteries/cells be tested first because we assume batteries are "good" and then chase our tails looking for other problems that do not exist . . . glad you figured it out . . .
