DS with Intermittent Power and Slows up hills
I have a 1998 48V Club Car DS that started to go fast/slow/fast, etc and also slows down going up hills now. I checked the batteries, changing 1 out, and cleaned the V-Glide contacts, but no improvement....now I am thinking of changing the solenoid and cleaning the motor contacts...any other thoughts?????

Re: DS with Intermittent Power and Slows up hills
The car runs so why would you think the solenoid is bad or anything but the batteries? you have a bad set of batteries.If you put a new battery in with old ones the old ones will draw the life out of the new one.

Re: DS with Intermittent Power and Slows up hills
Could be bad batteries, MCOR, throttle linkage under cart, controller, or something else. Is this a new vehicle for you? Old cart with new problem?

Re: DS with Intermittent Power and Slows up hills
Sorry, I guess it is called a multi-step potentiometer in this model year. The resistance output at the controller terminals is eratic (installed), but when I removed it the resistance seems to be within specs....?????

Re: DS with Intermittent Power and Slows up hills
I would suspect the poorly designed CC throttle peddle actuation. reinstall it and see what you have for travel? Matbe as simple as fixing the throttle peddle assembly & linkage

Re: DS with Intermittent Power and Slows up hills
Thanks...will do. I also hear an hissing (arcing?) noise from the passenger side wheel area. Does this possibly indicate dirty brushes on the motor?
