Caught on Fire
I am happy to say that my family all got off the cart safely, but the golf cart has seen better days. I had to call 911 so the fire depart could come put it out.
We were driving around the neighborhood going down a slight downhill. All of a sudden there was a sudden noise from the motor, it slowed down, then the back wheels locked up and we skidded to a halt. I lifted the seat up and smoke was coming from the controller and/or solenoid. I removed the seat and flames started shooting from the controller. I need some help understanding what happened and which part failed. I suspect the motor went first due to the noise and real wheels locking up. But I am unclear how that caused the controller to catch on fire. Even more puzzling, the fuse never blew...it is still intact.
