I have that same Yamaha cart and got a new lithium 48v battery for it (wanted to reduce weight and increase range). Long story short the positive/neg terminals ended up being on the wrong sides of the battery and I hooked the pos and neg incorrectly. I turned on the battery with the app and heard a pop and saw a tiny puff of smoke from the solenoid. Ordered a new solenoid but still no go. Did it blow up the controller and if so are they repairable? Only one inline like 5 amp fuse and I see nothing else. Seem like the controller would have some better built in protection if that is what it is going to need. Please help!
Nice video, keep up the good work. I would recommend use a tripod to install your phone/camera and a laser pointer as tools to help you explain what is going on under the golf cart. I think it would improve your videos quality. But your knowledge is impressive thank you
Great video! Your knowledge and experience is very impressive. I have an EZ-Go 48 TXT which makes no noise at all. I replaced the batteries, the charger, and the 4 wire charger socket. Any advise on exactly where the wires should connect? The largeer black and red are a no brainer, but the white and the thin blue wire are a mystery. Thank you in advance.
@HeyHeyHey97 thanks. I did discover that when you jump ground to the small solenoid terminal (opposite the terminal with the yellow wire) the solenoid will click, but nothing with the pedal press. Still digging for a breakthrough.
Great video! I'm in the market for a used fixer-up-er cart. Not very happy to learn about the OBD on Club Car as I have had my eyes open for used CC Precedent.. What cart would you say is the most reliable and bulletproof in the year-model range between 2005-2015. I'm in Sweden so a used Club Car from 05 is about 4-5 grand US.
Get a club car. Aluminum frames. Tons of parts easy to get. Remove the obc and get a different charger if you prefer,or run it stock until something goes bad and replace/upgrade later.
I have a 2016 club car that has 6 8v batteries 2 out of the 6 are at 7.6v rest at 8.6 it keeps jerking or halting while at full gas what could the issue be. Also if I touch metal to some of the wores on the terminal it may spark even when off
@@davidpinter1651 why would you touch metal to the wires? 7.6volts is too low for 8volt batteries. Those 2 low voltage batteries could be bad causing it to shutoff due to a low voltage shutdown error. Try replacing those 2 batteries first. How old and what brand are those batteries?
@@shanebaker3404 it's probably not the battery setup if you have connected positive to negative across each battery. Perhaps some solenoid and forward reverse wiring problems
I have a neighbor that keeps messing with my golf cart when I close the outside curtains. He pulls the cables off and tucks them under and last week I'm not sure what he did but I have my batteries connected as I did when I first bought them and no charge, reverse noise, lights don't work, and headlights work fine.
@@shanebaker3404 wow what kind of neighbor would do that? Is this like a teenager prank or do you have a dementia patient as your neighbor? Wiring can be some of the most complicated things to repair so I would do all I can to eliminate this diabolic sabotage activity right away!
@@jeshualee2711 Yeah, I just moved to a retirement community (Never do this) and I'm under fifty and work. I'm a loner so I'm looked at as weird. Last year the "snowbirds" were at a house partying Mon - Fri 12:30 to 1:30 then from 5 pm until 11. They are the popular people and the man I'm referring to was over there and I had a leaf blower cleaning the yard and he was drunk and tried bullying me thinking it would go good and he failed and got humiliated and as a result of his fail he tells neighbors I have a felony and I've had three instances with him messing with my golf cart and the last time I can't figure out what he did. When this first started my golf cart would just stop while driving. I don't get it. Maybe he took the cable off the charger port underneath the dash.
Great videos, man! Thank you for making them and explaining the issues the way that you do. You make it easy to understand!
@@KMbuilt you are welcome! Hope that it helped you!
Very informative and you explain it in terms that make it easy to understand. thank you for this video.

@@rickdebacker100 I would have to see a photo to possibly be able to tell anything
White main positive and black main negative.

2016 batteries, brand is what vehicle came with PN plus +
@@davidpinter1651 that means they are 8 years old and probably all of them just need to be replaced.
Great info sir !

Great video. You are very knowledgeable in golf carts. Thanks for your help.
