I have a 1990 Club Car DS 36v electric in reasonably good condition mechanically and aesthetically. It had been very well maintained when I bought it, had new batteries installed 7/2014 and has always worked well. Usage is 95% golf, 5% misc. around neighborhood or campground. When not in use it is stored on a trailer and completely covered.
During a round of golf the cart simply stopped with no warning or obvious signs of malfunction. The batteries are all good, the connections throughout the wiring system appear to be intact and a visual inspection of the fuse, linkage and V-glide didn't reveal any obvious problems. The lights, turn signals, reverse alarm etc. all function properly so I've eliminated the batteries as the issue.
A friend recommended Buggies Gone Wild, saying that collectively y'all could offer advice and instruction on how to repair ANYTHING cart related, so here I am. I am a DIY'er equipped with tools and an able-bodied teen son assistant who I employ as slave labor in exchange for keys to his truck, but I need some experienced guidance. Being a "newbie" to cart repair, I don't want to start messing around with components I know nothing about until I get some good info. Folks . . . I need some good info!
When I depress the accelerator pedal nothing happens in forward or reverse. I suspect this is a minor repairable issue but need some guidance. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
