You said at the end that there has to be at least 43 volts for the relay to close. My batteries are just two years old so I don’t think they are the problem. It started with the cart just stopped while driving and when I toed the car back home and plugged in the charger the charger clicked but didn’t give any ampere on the reader on the charger. So I assumed the charger was bad and the batteries were empty hence why my cart stopped. I have not done anything to fix this but after watching your video I might change the relay or rectifier. Here is the question; what if the batteries are good o and under 43 volts?

I hope you put the cart in tow before you towed it. Check the batteries with a volt meter. Check each one individually and also the entire pack, write down those numbers. Also Check volts at cart receptacle , and see what you got. If your numberz are good, unplug charger from the wall, then plug and unplug the cord into the cart a few times and see if youcan hear the relay click.

Hello Wayne, I'm new to the electric golf carts. My relay is not clicking when i plug my cart in & i have 44.5 volts ? I did test my plug on the cart & it's got 44.5. Also if a solenoid sticks can you tap on it to get it to unstick. I ask this because I'm getting 44.5 volts on both large terminals with the key turned off. Thanks Charles

Your batteries are too low to engage your charger. Try using a 12 volt car charger on each individual battery fir about 15 minutes, then try your cart charger immediately after that to see if the relay will close. Yes you can tap on a solenoid, but that isn't your problem. Also, if you have a resistor that goes between the 2 large solenoid terminals, then you will always have volts on both sides. You need to temporarily remove that resistor to see if you have volts on both sides.

I finally checked the series of batteries and I'm reading about 44 and a volts. Then I checked the receptacle where you plug the charger into and was only reading about 26 volts. When I tried testing the third prong to ground I read nothing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and actually was wondering if I could bypass the safety so I can just charge the batteries or if that would be a really bad idea.

You said the charger breaker trips immediately upon the charger coming on. That breaker is on the 110 volt side. If the charger comes on and transformer hums, then the 110 is getting thru the transformer coil, that means power should be coming out the back side of transformer.

If the dash lite comes on and off it's telling you the batteries are low. Do you have a volt meter and do you know how to use it? Tell me what the pack voltage is? Then drive cart about 20 feet forward and back. then check volts again and tell me what it is ?

When I plug the power drive the gauge needle only goes to like 4 amps and then goes back to zero after a while. What could be the issue?

How long has this been happening? When you first plug the charger into the cart, does the needle go to 15?

@@waynemartin.waynesgolfcart4900 for a while now. I would say for the last 6 months. It only goes to 4 amps. Never to 15amps then down to 4amps

Definitely something wrong. Could be the charger, obc, batteries. Easiest thing to do, is to try someone else's charger on your cart, and your charger on their cart. That would determine if the problem is in your cart or in your charger. You are killing your batteries if you are still using it and only charging at 4 amps.

@@waynemartin.waynesgolfcart4900 ok I’m going to ask my neighbor to let me borrow his golf cart charger and go from there. Now you pointed me in the right direction and I have an idea where to start troubleshooting my problem. Thanks a lot for your help.

@@waynemartin.waynesgolfcart4900 this video helped me understand the system enough to get it to work. however im aware i still do not understand the system.. i think the Kart might be over charging. to start original complaint was "its not charging" and i found the charger was never coming on.. i started by checking the battery's on the 48V system. all battery's were dead and 4 of them below 1V. i charged each one individually and got 5 out of 6 of the 8V battery's back to about 7.5V, one battery was lagging behind at about 5V. when i check the whole system connected i had 42V and thats when i was able to trip the relay in the factory charging system and get it "Fixxed" however the owner reports it is now charging for an extended time. i was trying to avoid them buying a battery but i now have a hunch at least that one battery needs to be replaced.. do you think that is correct? do you think something is wrong with the charger and toasted the battery's last year? or am i over thinking it.. The charger seemed to be putting in 14Amps when it said it was speced for 13Amps, this could be true or a fault in the Analog ampmeter.. appreciate the video.. you helped at least one guy the machine is fixed, charging and driving.. i just wanna make sure it stays fixed and dose not make a fool of me..

check out the vglide to see if any of the pads are worn or pitted. Also if you have a row of solenoids, check them out. Your cart does not have a speed sensor
