Could it be that the motor is heating up and tripping out. Seems if you can run it for a while it would be something like that. If not the motor maybe the controller?

It's hard too guess without test equipment, but it could be a bad cell in at least one battery draining the charge causing loss of power. We don't like guessing we go through a time-consuming schedule of tests at the shop to narrow down the problem.

well a little update, today when it stopped it beeped as I was slowing down.
Frank7, this cart has been in three different shops & I've paid for every test known to man, the batteries where replaced about a year ago & have been load tested & hydros. |

Thanks for your advice, found the number & gave him a call, he told me on the phone that it was a simple fix. he stopped by this afternoon explained the problem & what it would take to make the repair. while he was here I had my cart serviced & the repair he suggested, wow what a difference it's been a long time since my cart drove this good. It's to bad he's not on this forum. Again thanks

Georgia dawg were you just testing us ? Please do not take that the wrong way, it was a fun exercise, getting just enough info to try to solve. I am truly interested in what the fix turned out to be? |

So let me get this straight. You called a trained, knowledgeable GOLF Cart mechanic, and he fixed your cart right there on the spot, where 3 others services failed? WOW! ( read with lots of sarcasm )

[ he's not "a village resident", don't understand that comment however he did move his business & family across the country to help us with our cart problems & made a honest living ] with that being said i don't understand why he has been removed from this forum & nobody can even post his name. This ask an expert section would be great if you had someone to answer questions not have people make excuses why questions aren't being answer or to have you call his business. The unfortunate thing is my post will probally be removed before anyone gets to read it |

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. |
