I have a 1995 Club Car 48V Golf Cart that isn't running properly. I just put new batteries in it and when you press the pedal you hear the solenoid click but it doesn't move until the pedal is all the way to the floor and then it takes off at full power causing the rear wheel to skid in the grass so it has plenty of power and will run fine at full speed. If you let up on the pedal just a little you lose all power. I was thinking that the potentiometer was bad so I took apart the three wire connector under the seat and put an ohm meter on the yellow and purple wires to test it as I was reading in another thread. The resistance with the pedal up was ~0 and when the pedal is depressed it smoothly increases to ~6k ohms which is a little higher than the 5k it is supposed to be but seems to be within the normal range. So I've come here in hopes that someone has seen this before or has any other recommendations of things I can test. There was some corrosion on one of the pins of the connector so I tried to clean that up some but I started thinking that if that was adding resistance it should still work before it gets all the way to the ~6k input and it made no difference after I cleaned it. Any thoughts on how I can get it to run at the normal lower speeds?
