When doing this need to wiggle harness see if voltage fluctuation? Which might mean break stains in particular wire. That’s why it may be costly, time consuming to actually find fault?

Like others has said it both are blinking I would suspect grounding/corrosion problem?
A 2020 with low hours shouldn't have that much corrosion if any. I have seen where tires rub on wires close to headlights before.
Mobile Golf carts wanted to charge me $.50 an hour to trace my electrical problem and would need my cart for at least one or more weeks... Billing the entire 24 hours a day...
With help of my neighbor we found the problem,,,

All depends on installation and whether cart gets wet, some people can’t get vehicles in garage due it’s full of junk.

Called chafing why got look for it. .50 cent and hour would be slave labor in this country. I sure you’re meant 50 bucks and hour.

LED headlights are in many instances, prone to flickering. Most noticeable at idle and low speed. Many Jeep Wrangler owners who change their halogen headlights to LED headlights can attest to this, and as a result, many manufacturers of LED replacement headlights sell their kits with an anti-flicker wiring harness. Maybe you could check out this situation on "google", and see what you can come up with.

As I read through this post, lets not get confused that yamaha does not charge there carts at a steady rate like club car and ezgo.

It generally goes from high 14 to 16 volts and goes back and forth. If you see this as the lights get brighter and then dimmer this is the issue. Yamahas can be modified to charge at a steady 14.5 volts, but most repair shops dont know how to do it.

Yes, they don't come standard on a normal golf course cart...

Noted you said that is an accessory item. If so, sounds like it was an after market accessory. If you bought this "accessory" from a dealer, did they have any warranty on it? As others stated might be a loose connection. Amazing over last year I have spent more on cart repairs than car repairs and both driven about the same amount of hours.

I have reached out to Carts and Clubs for some clarification about why they say the problem is their own custom wiring harness and why it's not under warranty.

The accessory wiring harness on my Yamaha golf cart was too lightweight for the load on it. I ran a piece of 14 gage house wire through an in-line fuse to the headlights, putting them on their own circuit. All problems solved. Cost less than $10, took less than an hour of time.

You have provided a very good solution, I have seen several wiring harnesses with conductors too small for the connected loads, and then I saw the really bad solution to install larger fuses for the additional load, resulting in a melted wiring harness.

After some discussion with Carts and Clubs they took my cart in to diagnose why it's happening. They replaced the wiring harness and the problem for the most part is gone. They did cover it under the warranty.
