Ezgo Roypow fail
Flew out to my dad’s to install a 56ah Roypow pack in his 2015 Ezgo TXT. I had installed one in my CC Onward and it was a breeze so I figured this would be no sweat. Got battery mounted, turned on and found it only had a bar of charge. We went ahead and plugged in the new included charger and initially everything seemed fine. After 3 minutes, smoke started coming from charging point, we unplugged and battery started beeping and shut itself off.
We checked in the morning and couldn’t see any obvious damage. We plugged charger back in and this time, no smoke and battery charged to full. Went to test the cart and nothing. No reverse buzzer, no solenoid click when pressing the pedal. Tested voltage at the battery and it’s fine. Replaced the solenoid and ignition switch so far and still can’t get the solenoid to click. Any ideas? |

Re: Ezgo Roypow fail
Thanks for the response! Tested controller and appears to be working. If I apply positive to the small terminal on the solenoid, cart will go. So something upstream of the solenoid is fried.

Maybe the throttle somehow got fried? I'm not up on how ezgo does things though - if it was a cc that could at least be a possibility. |

Re: Ezgo Roypow fail
I think I would start by checking the micro switch in the pedal box.

Re: Ezgo Roypow fail
If anyone reads this in the future with a similar issue - it turns out that one of the pins on the Run/Tow switch wiring harness was burned up. Continuity across the switch was fine, but cart ran when I bypassed it. Looking carefully at the harness, one of the pins was bit blackened, so I bypassed the harness and soldered the wires together. So far, so good!

Re: Ezgo Roypow fail
So, this incident had nothing to do with the Roypow? Just happened to fail when you installed the new Roypow? Am I interpreting that correctly?

Re: Ezgo Roypow fail
I don't mean to be an alarmist, and everything may be OK with your fix. When I got my Roypow, it was about 6 bars if I remember correctly. I do know that Battery will auto shut down shortly after it hits one bar for safety (I had it happen to me out on trail). But I would be concerned if what I interpreted you to say was the charge connection started smoking.
