    My 36 v melex all of a sudden stopped and solenoid clicks and motor growls.said 35.9 volts but connections corroded and 3 wire ends questionable. Thought it was motor or controller but I went ahead and CLEANED, CHANGED ALL WIRES & Individually charged each battery. FIXED, 😳 WORKS GREAT.
    Must have full 36V to operate and batteries were out of balance. Ready for winter. Yay!

    I just got a 1987 club car DS electric for $300!! Has batteries but I'm going to take them to a battery store and get rebuilt ones and trade them in since the batteries only read 1 volt or under.

      So I sold this cart over 2 years ago, review this video again, at the 12 min mark I show a wiring diagram and the connections to the FNR switch. This is going to be the best I can offer.
      Good luck!

    You can take the old batteries to some battery stores or junkyards and they'll buy them from you!

      Think I had about $1,000.00 invested and around 40 hours of mostly body work and cleaning. Sold it easily for $1,700.00. Did you see the one I just got this month?

      At 11.50 I show show the battery connections and the entire video was about hooking up the batteries. You might watch it again. The 18 volt tap is power for reverse. Half speed..

      The reverse tapped the batteries at 18 volt to reduce the speed.
