Probably going to have to do load test on each battery to determine if it’s battery problem or wiring switch/relay bad part problem (I’m not familiar with connected batteries enough to know it you do load test while batteries are all connected? ]The lights and horn don’t pull enough amps like electric motor does to move the cart. Most Likely you will have call service tech that comes to home to troubleshoot your problems. It could be simple or complexed?

EVs have about one fourth the number of parts as a gas engine golf cart. So, theoretically the Electric golf cart should be easier to troubleshoot. Owners and repair people just have more experience with gas golf carts. That will change as more people buy Electric golf carts

On my way to lunch today, I watched a guy unload his golf bag from his Yamaha along the MMP and start walking.

btw, any recommendations for a cart rescue service in TV?

Using my cart to tow Mrs Fox's home is good fun (traffic permitting) but not if one of our carts breaks down many miles from home, rather than 1.5 miles like this time

Have you figured out what happened to your wife’s cart yet?

One cell of one battery is almost dead, so it lets enough current through to power the lights etc. but not enough for the motor. I suspect going up the hill after the tunnel was just too much for it. The batteries are over seven years old, so I have BatteryBoys coming on Friday to put in a new set.

Those in my cart are over eight years old, so you can expect more tales of woe :-)

We keep a tow rope in our cart, just in case. We used it once with ok results. Second time on Evans Prairie the guys had to tow us in, with much more power. Then AAA picked up the cart.
