Re: Columbia ParCar Service
I'm having my first problem with our 2007 Columbia Par Car. The red fault tolerance light keeps coming on. Our house-watch people report to me about the red light. I'm in Canada and my cart is in The Villages. The cart is plugged in about 50% of the time, which is what Columbia mechanics recommended.
The owners manual says "A steady red fault LED confirms an internal electrical fault of the Delta Q, and requires charger to be replaced and return. It must be validated first by testing individual batteries with a voltmeter."
When I called the mechanics at Columbia Par Car, they gave me this explanation. The red fault tolerance light can come on from time to time and is nothing to worry about because the charger timed out and wasn't able to equalize. He said to just unplug the cart, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in. The battery will continue to charge and turn green. He said that it happens because there is a built-in timer on the charger. The light will come on if it wasn't able to charge or equalize the battery in the time allotted. Anyway, he said "no worries", it is just something that sometimes happens.
All of the above is Greek to me. But my house-watch people have unplugged it, left it, and plugged it back in. And the red light persists.
Anyone have any ideas? Or does anyone know an honest cart repairman in TV?
