OK, I just remembered! You were going to look in to putting disk brakes on an RXV and how that would work with the motor brake. I would love to delete that motor brake. Good episode thanks for the wisdom and the coupons.
One thing to remember when replacing a controller is to make sure you get your electric motor serviced/replaced, if it has issues like severe wear/carbon build up etc it will have a load effect on the controller and can damaged a new one! Always get your motor checked as well when replacing a controller, not many people will tell you this!
Hi Tim. I'm new to the recreational golf cart world. I purchased a 2010 Yamaha G29 48 volt golf cart. My cart dies after some use and I don't know why. This doesn't happen all the time but after running it, it just stops with really no warning. It slows down and then dies. The batteries and cables all seem good. What I know about the cart mechanics you can put on the end of a pin.
Thanks for watching, Michael! The first thing we would do is load test the batteries. If even one cell in one battery is going out it can stop the cart... very common issue. We have a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/NsUkLCTWSnQ/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUeZ29sZiBjYXJ0IGdhcmFnZSBwb3dlciB0ZXN0aW5n Let us know if you need more help. Support@GolfCartGarage.com or (800) 401-2934
Do have a break down of parts and location of the parts for a club car 03 DS. ? Love your site but I get confused on parts and equipment used on different make carts?
Thanks for watching, Stan! If you send your request and your cart serial number to Support@GolfCartGarage.com our team can help get you whatever materials are available.
Hi Tim, from Mesa Arizona. I have a 2014 Club car precedent . At take off the cart runs great then slows to @8 mph. I changed out the speed sensor and it still does the same. Batteries are less then 2 years and hold a great charge. What else can it be. I did push the cart by hand and the alarm went off and it was a little hard to push. Thanks Al from Mesa Arizona
Thanks for watching, Al! Could be an issue with the potentiometer on that vehicle. We recommend a video call consult with our diagnosis team here: www.golfcartgarage.com/gearheads-on-demand/ or get in touch directly at Support@GolfCartGarage.com or (800) 401-2934.

My club car golf cart,just stalled last week and I still haven’t been able to get it going,changed the solenoid,changed the starter brushes,even changed the gas pedal,now I ordered micro switches and a coil and a diode wire,my solenoid does not click.

Hello. This is a really great show. I am very new to carts. I have a 2009 ezgo rxt 48v. I learned the hard way that the batteries require general maint regularly. My girls were driving it and it just died and the brake locked up. Inspected the batteries and they appeared shot. The brake is stuck on and won’t come off. Tried to switch the controller wires 3 to 1 and it did not work. Ended up getting it home on a dolly. I switched the batteries and the charging port wired it all back. Checked the wiring and cleaned it. Now it won’t come on although the lights come on. I don’t hear the solenoid click on when I turn it to run reverse etc . I am thinking maybe the solenoid is bad. Not sure what do next as the brake is locked and it’s pretty much non responsive. Help pls
Thanks for watching, Paul. We have to recommend starting with the solenoid. That is the most frequently replaced item on the RXV model. Let us know if you need more help! Support@GolfCartGarage.com or (800) 401-2394
Hi, i have a 2018 gas club car prescedent. Sometimes it starts immediately when i press the pedal and other times there is a 3-5 second or more delay before starting. It has a new battery, what would i check next. thanks Gary from Buckeye Arizona.
Thanks for watching, Gary! We recommend removing the seat and watching the starter as you push the pedal to verify that there is actually a delay or just a tight compression stroke. You can get an appt for a video diagnosis with our team here: www.golfcartgarage.com/gearheads-on-demand/ or send a short video of the issue to Support@GolfCartGarage.com so our techs can have a look.
I have a 2009 G29. Tested solenoid and it work however only 8 volts going to plug to energize the solinoid do I have a bad controller since the wire connected to the small post of solinoid connects to controller need help
Thanks for watching! There should be full battery pack voltage at the two small post on the solenoid at activation. If cart has a run/tow switch then yes, the controller is in the solenoid activation circuit and that could be the problem. If you have further questions, get in touch at Support@GolfCartGarage.com or (800) 401-2934
I have an easy go 1992 I replaced the batteries because they were old with marine start batteries! 3 of them 36 v system! 12v Batts. After this I took it for a spin everything was fine until I noticed my 250 ohm resistor on my solenoid smoking. Then now everytime I hit the go pedal it opens right up! ( too much power) Does the burnt resistor have anything to do with this problem?? Thanks for your time!!
