2014 TXT 48V wont run (i think wiring issue)
Hello from Nashville! Frst post but I'vs found a lot of great info on other projects. Just bought a new project cart and it wont run (knew that when i bought it) it has good batteries each tested 8.4v and the series tested 50.4v. I have attached some pictures of what it looks like in there and it seems its totally missing a run/tow switch and other wires seem goofy. Just looking for some insight or an eagle eye to catch something I'm not seeing. Thanks!!

I've taken apart a few 48v ezgo and some things I'm noticing on yours..
I've NEVER seen a buzzer wired inline down there by the controller for one, and if the run/tow switch is missing from the controller cover that would be the first thing to replace to get the cart running, especially if the batteries are fine Everything else appears normal to me Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

Re: 2014 TXT 48V wont run (i think wiring issue)
There was no controller cover at all when I got it. I don't see a place where the run/tow wire would connect. Wouldn't that normally plug into the controller? Where would i wire that switch in?
I believe the buzzer is there because they added on that would run in FWD and Reverse. It was in an airplane manufacturing building and they had to have running noise any time the cart was in motion inside the warehouse. Where does the buzzer normally go and where is it usually wired in? |

On all the ones I've worked on its wired by the key switch and mounted with rivets to the glove box on the passenger side.
The plug that isn't connected to anything connects to your run/tow switch. I apologize for not having better pictures stored on my phone, i checked. The cover and tow switch missing is the first problem. Without the switch you can't attempt to run the cart. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

That makes sense. I originally thought it wasn't for that because it only had two wires and I thought the run/tow switch was supposed to have 4. Can I temporarily direct connect those two wires to see if that will remedy the situation?

Thanks JonnieB! Those are great. What is the order I should test things in? Like from Pack to Motor what is the route the power goes? I get power to lights, have proper pack voltage, and when the key is on I get a reverse buzzer but no movement. Is the solenoid the next point in the map?

Did you ever connect your Run Tow switch? It is in your second picture, the unconnected white plug with two wires. If you jumper that plug it will have the same effect as being in RUN mode. Disconnected it is in TOW mode.

Sounds like the solenoid may be the problem imo. I checked into that PDF and if you haven't already you should check the solenoid for continuity. Section K5 should help
