Re: 2004 Clubcar golf cart just died
Sniffing around under the seat, the strongest smell of burnt thermoset plastic is in the area of the controller. I say this with only 60% confidence, since the incident that ending the carts running happened two days ago. I do not SEE any burnt wires or discolored conections. Two fuses in the area are good.
With the back wheels off the ground, I checked the the solenoid by waiting until it clicked (run mode, Forward, hit throttle, solenoid clicks), and then I shorted across high current posts with a big screwdriver. The posts are very close to each other. No change, no motor. The headlights are bright, and I still show 50 volts across the whole battery pack. Does anyone know if the Curtis controller I identified above is original equipment or aftermarket? |

Re: 2004 Clubcar golf cart just died
Sounds like a controller issue to me... the numbers you listed are for a stock controller.

Re: 2004 Clubcar golf cart just died
Are the used controllers on Ebay for about $190 a bad risk?

Re: 2004 Clubcar golf cart just died
The same thing happened to me before and it was a controller. Everything on Ebay is a risk but if you can talk to the seller, most of those are taken off of stock carts for a bigger controller upgrade and would be fine but who knows what you are getting. I personally would just buy a new one with a warranty but i'm not a gambler.

Re: 2004 Clubcar golf cart just died
Do you think the 250 amp rating on the stock controller is adequate? My friend was going up a hill when it stopped. It's a big step from a used controller on Ebay for $190 to a new Curtis controller for $500, unless I am not aware of some better deals out there.
Has anyone ever fixed a controller by taking it apart and installing new Mosfets? |
