Cart stops after 30 min.
In the past 60 days we have had three similar cases at our shop and the fix were different with all three. That being said the repairs that we did may still not correct your problem & I share them to express that you are not alone.
#1 We found the motor brushes were worn unevenly and we rebuilt the motor and the problem was gone.
#2 One of the long # 6 wires that moves with the suspension had become loose at the terminal near the motor and after a short run time the heat generated made the cart shut down, replacing some of wires was the cure.
#3 After 7 miles of drive time the controller would overheat and shut down, let the cart sit for ten minuets and the overheated device in the controller would reset. We replaced the controller with a higher amp unit and the problem was solved.
In conclusion, you can see that many problem causes have a 'down condition' with the heat of the summer carts and with the power and weight we have along with the distances we travel in The Villages the heat is a culprit. I hope this helps you to better understand a little more about these problems.
