Frank, as you may recall, we have a year old reman from you that we have been very happy with (https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/all-about-golf-carts-things-156/outstanding-work-sta-rite-carts-80419/).
I went out earlier today to start the cart after it had been standing for 4 days, which for us is a very long time. It was hooked up to a Battery Minder we had professionally installed a few months ago, and which we have not had any problem with. Turned the key and switched into reverse - and nothing, not even the back-up buzzer. Pressed the pedal a couple times, and switched between forward-neutral-reverse, and the buzzer did come on, but still no movement (gauge confirmed a full charge).
I tried a few things over the next 5 minutes, combinations of turning the key and the direction switch and pedal, but no movement. Finally, just to do something different, I released the brake and manually pushed the car forward about a foot - and it then started right up! Have since had it on and off several times today, with no further problems at all.
Is is possible for some electrical dead spot to develop on standing, that I released by moving the cart in this way? Have you ever seen anything like this? Thanks.
