Hey Brian- I have a 1995 Club Car DS 48 volt golf cart. I have had problems with it running on a consistent basis. I finally changed the batteries, but Im still having issues when I depress the accelerator pedal,, it just clicks... sometimes it will go, and sometimes it refuses to go, although it gives me the same ole clicking sound. I have taken off the shell of the cart to be able to get to all th mechanics underneath, but Im not experienced in identifying which piece(s) i need to replace.. Can you help me?
I’ve learned more on this older video than these newer videos. Why can’t people just slow down, step by step having the camera in Birds Eye view, and not rush like this video???? Thumbs up Brian.
I have a 2008 electric precedent. The battery light on the dash is coming on for 10 seconds and than going off for 20 seconds after being charge. If I drive the cart the light is off when driving and comes on when cart is not moving.
hello brian, i have a Golf Buggy 48 volts. the problem is when i depress the accelerator it wont run, by pushing the golf cart while depressing the accelerator of the golf cart it suddenly jumps and running but not okay because when it runs it surges like On/Off On/Off On/Off. then when i release the pedal until the golf cart fully stop, then depress the pedal again it wont run. by pushing the cart it will run like surging On/Off abd not smooth. battery voltage are 48volts, i changed the potentiometer but no luck. the controller color is Black aluminum cover. fuse is ok, im thinking that my motor is gone. pls help
if you by pass the computer and the car runs.The computer is bad and the only purpose of the computer,is to regulate the charge and keep the car from running when is charging
my club car is 48v and has a round plug for charging, but does not have spade clips on the controller. It is aluminum but has a plug in adapter for most wiring. I tried bypassing the computer and jumping the solenoid but it's not the same. No small yellow wire on the low amp side of the solenoid. And no spade clips on the controller box. It's an older Club Car but any tips or ideas for the year and model we have so I can try to figure out why it's not running? Thanks !
How you doing are you still working on golf cart I need to check a controller honor up Club Car DS 2004 do you have a video on that I like the same like the one you just showed me I'm not familiar
Sounds like battery chatter, since your pack is wired in series, your pack is only as good as the worst battery. Use a regular load tester to find the bad battery and replace with a battery of similar age.
Brian, I was mistaken. It actually does not click until I try pressing the pedal a few times. Once it clicks, runs like a champ. The batteries are all the same age (less than two years) 2005 DS by the way
YOu may want to load test your batteries, you can do this with a standard automotive type load tester. Leave all your batteries hooked up and load test to find the weak batttery. Beacuse you batteiy pack is wired in series your pack is only as good as the weakest battery. If you loose power while driving it may be a weak battery. If you loose powere intermetently check your cables nuts. Use a 9/16 or 1/2 inch wrench and tighten each nut - that may be your problem. You should be checking the cable nuts monthly when you do your water check. as they will work loose. BTW - loose cable nuts create an air gap, the air gap creates resitence, resistance creates heat, heat will melt your post and weld your cable to the threaded post as well. so check those cable nuts monthly, If you are in rehe mesa area we have load testers available for free for your use, a small deposit is all that is required.
Brian, I am having an issue with a delay in starting in forward or reverse. I press "go" and I hear a click, but then a delay or sometimes no movement until I press pedal again a few times. Occasionally I loose power when in motion as well. Any ideas?
Brian, I was mistaken. It actually does not click until I try pressing the pedal a few times. Once it clicks, runs like a champ. The batteries are all the same age (less than two years) 2005 DS by the way
I have a 48 volt 2010 Star cart. It seems to cut out when I first start. It will actually stop then I will slowly accelerate and it will start moving again. The battery is fully charged. I have also lost some power. It will not go as fast as it did.
When you made the test bypassing the controller, you must have had the rear wheels off the surface, as how could you engage the forward or reverse and have the system drive. Good detail, yet poor graphic as I cannot see the connections to learn the test points.
So wait - if everything works but the car runs or not intermittently - is it the motor. Solenoid clicks cart surges but may or may not run. Keep putting the pedal down and it will eventually run.
Mr.Schreyer your video has been one the most comprehensive that have researched to diagnose a problem with my 48 volts club car or pretty much anything else(which I don't normally do). Thanks for your time. CHEERS.
Hello Brian. I have a 2013 club car president 48 volt. I have a high parasitic drain all the time. Before I replaced the batteries they would go dead in less than 2 days. Also I just replaced the batteries. Only charging to 42-43 volts. What’s going on here. HELP!
99 Club Car DS will operate properly only if pushed (Rear wheels starting to turn). If the wheels stop turning, it will not move in forward or reverse. V Glide has been replaced. Used the resistors from old V Glide. One battery has weak or bad cells. Any suggestions? Many thanks!
Good night,my cart had a problem with the batteries then it stopped charging, I changed the batteries and the charging device went back to work. After four months it stopped charging again. How to testthe module that releases tje load?? Sinse the loaded is ok
Hi , i have an old Golf Club Cart petrol engone 1993, not sure if you can help me. Cart haș sat for 6 months due to lockdown, it was fine before, but now it works fine apart from the bleeping noise when in reverse gear will not stop in forward, neutral or with the ignition turnee off Off, the petrol gauge returns to empty, but the noise stays on so ive hâd to disconnect the battery to stop the noise. Can you advise me?
My club car will not move when u press gas pedal???? Not batteries, or wiring to batteries bc all that was checked and wiring was replaced. Any suggestions
Don't know if anybody is reading these anymore or not. Anyway I have a 1994 club car electric DS. Have run the tests in the video but when running the test on back side of micro I get NO light when in forward, I do get a light in reverse and neutral. Does this mean the micro switch is shot? I do get a light in all positions on the front (green &white).
I do what you just said don't do for 6 years now on like 10 carts works fine with no problems with it even golf cart guys that know alot told me it's okay to do it
I have a 2001 48 volt club car and I took the charger to the golf cart shop and they pluged in the charger and said it was good ,so heres what is happening ,I plug in the charger the meter goes to 20 and after around a minute or two it kicks the circuit breaker also when I plug in the charger the yellow dash battery light comes on untill the charger beaker kicks off ,do you think it needs a computer reset of just buy a new computer,also I have replaced the fuse behind the cart charger terminal ,please help
Hello sir I have a 98 club car ds and we have brand new batteries on it and it just doesn’t seem to get over 7 mph no matter what. I feel like it should go a little faster than that. Shouldn’t it?
I just bought Club Car and does work I don't know what year? they replace 3 Batteries and that park under a tree and never worked some one replace new Electical part and did not work no one can tell what part was replaced where do I start I'm great Car Elec and used to be a Mech help where get repair manual on them. thanks in Advance. Steven
On my negative outpost from the controller as soon as i put the probe on the light turns on.. If i press the gas pedal the light gets dim.. So is doing the opposite as what you are saying.. Please help
I have tail lights but no headlights, bulbs work when testing on the bench , new batteries ,, is there a fuse up somewhere under the dash someplace, i have a 1995 club car.
I'm looking for the fuse location for a 2005 precedent club cart, had the batteries replaced and the front lights flash when I turn them on and I think the fuse is blown, Also maybe hooked up wrong for proper batt. voltage
brian i have a ds 2002 club car i have 48 volts from first pos to last neg at first the bat light would come on when driving it sometimes but didn't seem to affect it but the other day i was driving it and it kinda shuttered and would move anymore nothing works except the reverse buzzer any ideas
Mine is a 98 with a REGEN setup. It has the rocker switch for fwd/rev. Is there anything i need to test differently with this system vs. the one you are working on here. I'm willing to pay you for you time and info. I'm pretty decent mechanically, just never worked on any golf cart or battery only vehicle. THanks,
I have a 1986 club car. With the key still off, when move the forward/reverse switch the cart takes off like the excelerator pedal is floored ! Any ideas what's going on?
I have 2010 Tomberlin that was really slow the other day (14mph max instead of usual 24mph). I connected the charger, but in the morning the cart was completely dead. Batteries are only 3 month old and when I test them one by one, each and every one reads 8.6V. Tomberlin manual says if any battery is under 9.3V, it should be replaced. Do you think my batteries are faulty and should be replaced or at 8.6V batteries are fine? Thanks
brian i have just tried to up grade the controller (325 amp)and motor (10 hp series )also the solenoid heavy duty. Now when i step on the accellarator pedal it jumps and nothing then hold it to the floor and i get like suoer sloe, as i ease off it gain speed . most of the time it doesnt go at all and i hear the click from solenoid. im stumped
Wow ,great video ....but I am still confused . The negative out post I get 50 V without tuching gas pedal . So when I bypassed computer I get nothing no wheeel spinn , I got 50v on law volatage of curtis in term 1 , and 2&3 terminal on 20kOHMS starts 0n 5.28 - 2.10 .... so what is bad the Curtis or Comp ? Thanks for your help ...
I have a 2005 Club Car DS. The charger will not kick off. By morning the garage started smelling like rotten eggs. I could hear the battery fluids bubbling. I'm not leaving plugged in until I find and fix the problem. Appreciate any ideas. Tks.
Hello. I have an 2001 Club Car 48V DS (non-regen). It currently runs fine however, it starts creeping whenever I move the Forward Reverse switch into either F or R. Does this mean the solenoid is bad and needs replacement? Would there be any other possible causes because I also am unable to lock the brake pedal? Thank you.
I have a 48 volt club car precedent. It also sparks when I hook the batteries up. I was told by a service tech that was normal. It's better to hook them up with the tow switch in tow mode. It won't spark then
Whenever i tested the ohms on the green and yellow wire from 2 and 3 it starts at 5, then if i press on the accelerator it drops to 0 when fully pressed. Is that normal? Or is it a bad potentiometer
Great, clear video Brian! We have a 2003 48v Club Car Turf 1. After washing the engine bay to remove spring mud the pre-charge resistor on the solenoid is always hot to the touch. The cart drives fine otherwise. The resistor now measures 230ohm's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Great video Brian. I have a 2004 Club Car with 6 month old batteries and after riding it for about 15 minutes it just stops. If I let it sit for a while it will then start again, does this sound like a bad solenoid or something else?
my DS club car loses power after a few minutes and drops to a crawl. if i bridge out the 2 control contacts on the speed controller it goes like a rocket but as potentiometer is now not in the system it has no throttle progression. i have fitted a new potentiometer but when I test it it ranges from 6000 ohms to 1000 ohms which to me is excessively high, I thought it should be very close to zero. I have conducted all your tests and they suggest that all components are currently working ok? any further advice would be much appreciated.
@@ThatJeepGuyDan yea it was a loose/bad connection on a female crimp connection situated on the variable speed drive. It was the sensor wire from solinoid to vsd.
I have a 1999 clubcart,that when I hook up the charger it wont charge.Also after that the cart only click.Then I remove the positive terminal and wait a few minutes and hook back up the cart will works as normal.Does this sound like a computer problem
David Hensley Need more information, what do you mean when you say "hook back up the cart will works as normal" Is it the guage that resets and the cart only clicks when the accelerator is pushed. When was the last time the cart accepted a charge how long has it been since the cart was fully charged _the charger shut off- and worked as normal. Please advise Brian

The batteries are new,I have checked voltage of batteries and it says 47 volts.We have tried a new battery charger and it does the same thing.If I unhook positive for about 5 minutes then hook positive back up the cart works like it should.Then I plug charger in to charge,the charger doesn't come on.Unplug charger and cart only clicks when you push the pedal.The batteries are now down to 38 volts.I have ordered a new computer hopeing this resolves my problem.
I am hoping you can help me out and answer a question for me. My 2001 club car ds 48 volt golf cart is quickly losing power going up hills. The batteries are only a year old and charge to 51 volts and discharge to 47.8 going up the hills so I don't think it's a battery issue. All battery cables are new. Could you recommend what the problem might be? Maybe the controller or something? It runs absolutely fine on flat surfaces, just struggling up hills. Thanks
Brian - great video. My Club Car DS runs BUT after awhile loses power. I wait a few seconds, toggle the F/R switch and am able to get going again. I don't know if the controller is overheating(?) or maybe a solenoid is weakening. Any immediate suggestions?
I have a club cart that I changed the batteries out an after installing the golf cart takes off fast when you mash the accelerator but breaks it's speed immediately to like half throttle what causes this problem
The video was really helping me diagnose my '99 club car until it switch to a totally different Yamaha cart diagnostics. I wonder if that was intended? I did jumper the low amperage lines to the solenoid as part of the troubleshooting but my cart did not run. It basically barely starts to move and then just goes dead. Anybody have an idea of what to test or what part might be bad? thx.
replace my batteries on my 48 volt club car I had to remove the body and I accidently discounted the wires from the the small switches and I can't figure how to replace them
hi i have a yamaha g 19 e i have power to controller and drive motor when i push the acelerater i lose all power cant find computer on unit 1999 model any info would be apper...

@chuck bradley i have the same thing happeing
Why does the light come on
How do you check current with a voltage probe?
What type of tester are you using in this video? I tried to find one that can handle 48 volts but can't find one that goes over 42 volts?

May be the speed sensor on the motor.
I like to run four 12v batteries instead of six 8 volt batteries can I do that without changing Anything stock 1999 club car DS
Hey Brian I have an 01 club car ds 48v battery charger keeps kicking off is it my on board computer?
Why did we skip controller diagnostic and go to Yamaha ?
Yeah, why
if you by pass the computer and the car runs.The computer is bad and the only purpose of the computer,is to regulate the charge and keep the car from running when is charging
So you are saying we really don't need to spend that much money to replace the computer and the club car will work fine?

sorry for the late reply, sometimes the computers go to sleep, usually a double or triple pump of the accelerator will wake it up..
That makes sense and that usually gets me going, but sometimes I momentarily loose power when I am already moving too.
YOu may want to load test your batteries, you can do this with a standard automotive type load tester. Leave all your batteries hooked up and load test to find the weak batttery.
Beacuse you batteiy pack is wired in series your pack is only as good as the weakest battery. If you loose power while driving it may be a weak battery.

Thanks so much, Brian. I'm actually in NC, but I will follow your advice. At least now I know where to start.

did you ever figure this problem out? mine is doing the same thing.
I did not. Mine finally stopped working completely. I'm going to be taking it to have repaired, unless I can find an answer.
It ended up being the part controller between the pedal and the processor. I will try to find the name and part number for you, but I haven't yet.
srogers42 did you end up working out the problem part?
Hi Brian I by passed computer and my golf cart works! Can I permanently do that or do I need computer?
They actually make a bypass kit for the 48v club cars. About $90 on eBay.
I have a 48 volt 2010 Star cart. It seems to cut out when I first start. It will actually stop then I will slowly accelerate and it will start moving again. The battery is fully charged. I have also lost some power. It will not go as fast as it did.

why did you change to Yamaha?
96 48 Volt Club Car - How do I test the charger? It doesn't even click when I plug it in.
where are you located?
When you made the test bypassing the controller, you must have had the rear wheels off the surface, as how could you engage the forward or reverse and have the system drive. Good detail, yet poor graphic as I cannot see the connections to learn the test points.
So wait - if everything works but the car runs or not intermittently - is it the motor. Solenoid clicks cart surges but may or may not run. Keep putting the pedal down and it will eventually run.

if your battery voltage is too low, your charger will not kick in. I have only ever seen one bad computer.
I have new batteries and They worked fine but now my cart wont do anything when I try to run it any ideas?
How do I get the yellow light to rest? It stays on.

last battery on drivers side wire going to cart is negative and it goes + to- on each battery
too complicated for me and i don't have all those fancy tools!
Whenever i tested the ohms on the green and yellow wire from 2 and 3 it starts at 5, then if i press on the accelerator it drops to 0 when fully pressed. Is that normal? Or is it a bad potentiometer
Great, clear video Brian! We have a 2003 48v Club Car Turf 1. After washing the engine bay to remove spring mud the pre-charge resistor on the solenoid is always hot to the touch. The cart drives fine otherwise. The resistor now measures 230ohm's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Great video Brian. I have a 2004 Club Car with 6 month old batteries and after riding it for about 15 minutes it just stops. If I let it sit for a while it will then start again, does this sound like a bad solenoid or something else?
Bob, I'm having the exact same issue. Did you figure out a solution?
This video is gold! Thank you for taking the time to do this.
my DS club car loses power after a few minutes and drops to a crawl. if i bridge out the 2 control contacts on the speed controller it goes like a rocket but as potentiometer is now not in the system it has no throttle progression. i have fitted a new potentiometer but when I test it it ranges from 6000 ohms to 1000 ohms which to me is excessively high, I thought it should be very close to zero. I have conducted all your tests and they suggest that all components are currently working ok? any further advice would be much appreciated.
Hey you ever figure out the problem you had on your club car I have similar problems
@@ThatJeepGuyDan yea it was a loose/bad connection on a female crimp connection situated on the variable speed drive. It was the sensor wire from solinoid to vsd.
Thanks. I now have a direction and a better understanding of how it all works.
I have a 1999 clubcart,that when I hook up the charger it wont charge.Also after that the cart only click.Then I remove the positive terminal and wait a few minutes and hook back up the cart will works as normal.Does this sound like a computer problem
David Hensley Need more information, what do you mean when you say "hook back up the cart will works as normal" Is it the guage that resets and the cart only clicks when the accelerator is pushed. When was the last time the cart accepted a charge how long has it been since the cart was fully charged _the charger shut off- and worked as normal. Please advise

The batteries are new,I have checked voltage of batteries and it says 47 volts.We have tried a new battery charger and it does the same thing.If I unhook positive for about 5 minutes then hook positive back up the cart works like it should.Then I plug charger in to charge,the charger doesn't come on.Unplug charger and cart only clicks when you push the pedal.The batteries are now down to 38 volts.I have ordered a new computer hopeing this resolves my problem.
Great video !
I am hoping you can help me out and answer a question for me. My 2001 club car ds 48 volt golf cart is quickly losing power going up hills. The batteries are only a year old and charge to 51 volts and discharge to 47.8 going up the hills so I don't think it's a battery issue. All battery cables are new. Could you recommend what the problem might be? Maybe the controller or something? It runs absolutely fine on flat surfaces, just struggling up hills. Thanks
SAME HERE. DID YOU EVER FIND THE RESOLVE?
@@coryklein84 nope, ended up selling it and bought a gas cart. Game changer
@@joemoneytaker1766 thanks for the quick reply
no continuity on 2 small leads on soliniod
hey all
An excellent tutorial! Thankyou.
Great video. Thanks
where is your shop?
Brian - great video. My Club Car DS runs BUT after awhile loses power. I wait a few seconds, toggle the F/R switch and am able to get going again. I don't know if the controller is overheating(?) or maybe a solenoid is weakening. Any immediate suggestions?
I have a club cart that I changed the batteries out an after installing the golf cart takes off fast when you mash the accelerator but breaks it's speed immediately to like half throttle what causes this problem
Roger Parker did you get answer to this?
The video was really helping me diagnose my '99 club car until it switch to a totally different Yamaha cart diagnostics. I wonder if that was intended? I did jumper the low amperage lines to the solenoid as part of the troubleshooting but my cart did not run. It basically barely starts to move and then just goes dead. Anybody have an idea of what to test or what part might be bad? thx.
How do I get ti ignition switch and selinoid in my 2005 clubcart
I have charged the battery on my 48 volt Club Car electric how do I get to the ignition switch and where do I find the solenoid switch
hey I have a 2014 ezgo 48 volt when I switch the key on to F it jumps forward and then starts buzzing but will not go. help please
replace my batteries on my 48 volt club car I had to remove the body and I accidently discounted the wires from the the small switches and I can't figure how to replace them
Can you do this test on a Cush and textron hawk 48 volt system. Thanks
