'99 stopped in motion

[rucster]

Hello,

I was wondering if you could help me with some motor consulting. I have a 1999 36v resistor club car. It has a ge motor and stopped running while in motion. Using the service manual, all tests checked out except for the stator check. The service manual states to disconnect the batteries and test for continuity between battery post 6 and brown wire at F/R switch. Of coarse this can’t be so I connected the batteries and showed NO continuity.
The brushes and springs are good and no evidence of shorts. Jumping the terminals will run the motor. The switches - key,throttle,f&r,v-glide, and solenoid are testing good and get 37 volts to motor. Batteries are charged and good. Completely stumped...please help

If u have 37 volts at the motor then there has to be something wrong with the motor unless I am missing something in your description of what u have checked. The brushes may look fine but that doesn't mean they are working properly.

forget getting voltage to motor. When I put a meter across A2 and S2 I'm not getting anything. I first tested S2 to positive on battery bank.

Bench Testing Series Motor

Remove all cables from the motor; connect a jumper from A1 to S1. Connect 12 to 24 volts, positive @ A2 and negative @ S2. Swap S1 and S2 to change rotation direction.

Do not allow motor to run but a brief time without load.

NOTE: If motor in cart, raise wheels off ground

Wheels off the ground, jumped 1's and powered 2's. Motor does turn. What would be the next step?
