golf cart speedometer

does anybody know somebody who can fix a golf cart speedometer, it would be greatly appreciated

Taking a guess here, the repair cost may exceed the cost of a new one. That said there is a strong likely hood that the magnet fell off. The speedo works by counting the revolutions of the wheel, to which a magnet is attached. Follow the speedo wire down to the undercarriage it will be near the axle or wheel. A small magnet will be attached to the moving part. The magnet will come close, but not touch the speedo sensor.

I hope this was helpful.

You can buy a GPS speedometer on Amazon for 30 dollars.

Carts and Clubs just repaired mine along with yearly maintenance.
Called my regular maintenance person (who had been recommended here and did an OK job for a few years) - said not his specialty. Will be using Carts and Clubs for maintenance in future.

Have you checked the battery? Depending on the brand of speedometer, there is usually a battery door on the back of the speedometer. You can unscrew it with a coin or screw driver. Replace the thin round battery with new one like it. I have to replace mine about once every 12 to 18 months.

If you have a cell phone, get yourself a cell phone holder that fits your cart, download a Free GPS speedometer app, or you could use the Villages GPS app that costs a few bucks if you want. I use an app called Ulysse Speedometer Pro. It has lots of bells and whistles. I do have a UBS plug in to keep my phone charged as well, but the apps don't use up too much of your cell phone battery.

Make sure your governor is set at the legal speed limit and you don't need a speedometer. Just my two cents for what its worth.

Try a battery. Our clock wasn't working but other things were and all it was, it needed a new battery. Try that first.

If it’s the bicycle type dead battery most likely. But, don’t work/fix really do explain the problem?

they do not do speedometers - I called them and they recommended someone who didn't know what a striker speedometer was - probably the most common one out there

If all else fails, and you have a smart phone, there are some good apps for that. I use Speed Box on my iPhone and it works well. I just start the app and place the phone in a holder (like one of the many available for cars).

A few years ago I was going to install a speedometer, a friend said, why don't you just install a speedometer app, I went on the internet and installed a speedometer app for free, now my entire phone lights up with a giant speedometer and a bunch of other bells and whistles all for free, you can't beat it, I use digihud.com

Did you recently rotate the tires - the speedometer can be hooked up to a specific wheel as was mine.

The receiver usually on the hub and not the rim, that way it don’t affect tire rotation.

Ya, that's just what we need. A whole bunch of people driving around in golf carts looking at their phones instead of watching where they are driving. There is a very good reason many states have made it illegal to use phones while driving unless you have a hands free system like bluetooth.
