Check your batteries. I’ve had new batteries ruin these brakes with off brand batteries. Stick with Trojan, continental and US. Shouldn’t cooking these if they have good consistent voltage
What caused it to go bad or drag in the first place? I hear stuff about a run plug not keeping good connection also. So how would one tell if the plug is losing connection or if it’s the brake?
my rxv is making a ticking noise - feels like it's from around the driver's side rear wheel - mostly on right urns but sometimes on straightaways - is this a brake issue? spline? bearing? THANKS
so I have a issue with my RXV I turn the key on to reverse and I hear a click the brake releases and the reverse alarm comes on but the cart doesn't move I have replaced the solenoid I was told that's the issue. but it didn't help. I found out by accident if I turn the key off and I slightly press the throttle maybe 1 or 2 inches down and turn the key back onto reverse it will do the same noises but then I will feel it slightly move I left off the pedal and press it more works fine can go to forward and it works fine no issues the entire time I drive it unless I stop and turn off the key? any ideas?
@@robertstojmilovic6870 yes it ended up being the electric brake was bad it would click but not disengage so when I would hit the pedal the brake was still on and the cart couldn’t move. But turning the key off and on multiple times it would eventually disengage and we could drive it. Replaced the clutch and it was back to working perfectly
I have installed 2 new motor brakes and the cart will still not move or go into neutral. Solenoid clicks, reverse alarm works. I was able to switch the plugs under the tow switch and the brake disengages where I can roll it. When I swap them back it stays engaged in all positions and won’t move. Ideas? Batteries are about 1 year old.
I'm not sure what you mean. The AC Motor, DC Motor, the Motor Brake etc.? You can go to shop.ezgo.com and find all the parts they offer including motors.
It’s usually installed too tight but I have ran into carts that lost voltage too quick and the motor brake couldn’t stay open so I would drag and possibly burn up the motor brake but that isn’t common. Get it from a different supplier in case he got a bad batch. After installing it drive it for maybe 5-10 minutes and make sure it isn’t getting warm. Should be still cool if installed right and a good brake.
No. If the brake lines up then install and test drive. If the new brake doesn't line up then plug it in, put your cart in tow and turn the key on so it can release the brake so you can align it properly and tighten it down.
Perfect video to get the brake off and was able to move my cart when my battery was dead. Thank you for the great video!
Just followed your process. Did not need to remove the tire. It when well. I used two hands.
Thanks
Great information thank you, we never know when disaster strikes.
Thank You !! Still a great Video today !!
Have had two replaced on my 2009 ezgo r x v. I'm getting ready to replace a third one myself in less than three years

Great video, thanks very much!
Great tutorial video!
Thank you!!!
What if the bolts don’t just pop in when it’s attached to motor and flush? Tried for hours 🤨
A lot of new motor brakes I have to drill the bolt hole a little bigger to fit the factory bolts through
@@jbgolfcarts thank you!

Ever found out what the issue was?

Check your brake switch. Those are known to go out. If it’s bad then it’ll read 100% brake even when your not pushing the brake.
I have the same problem with my RXV. Did you ever figure out what the problem was?
Hi, do you guys have any updates on this? I'm facing similar issue. Appreciate any help!
@@jbgolfcartswhere is the brake switch
Hi, do you know who makes EZgo original motors?
I'm not sure what you mean. The AC Motor, DC Motor, the Motor Brake etc.? You can go to shop.ezgo.com and find all the parts they offer including motors.
I have replaced 2 motor brakes in 30 days, what could be the problem?
It’s usually installed too tight but I have ran into carts that lost voltage too quick and the motor brake couldn’t stay open so I would drag and possibly burn up the motor brake but that isn’t common. Get it from a different supplier in case he got a bad batch. After installing it drive it for maybe 5-10 minutes and make sure it isn’t getting warm. Should be still cool if installed right and a good brake.
Does it need to be in neutral before starting?
No. If the brake lines up then install and test drive. If the new brake doesn't line up then plug it in, put your cart in tow and turn the key on so it can release the brake so you can align it properly and tighten it down.
Why did it fail ?I can't get power to my brake - batteries are charged,
It's a wear and tear item and will eventually go out
I guess E-Z-Go SWAT motor
JB where is the brake switch located on a 2010 RXV ?
Will the motor run with the brake taken off ?
It shouldn’t. Never tried.
I just tried and it wont move or turn on without the brake mounted
