What year is the cart? There's Club Car wiring diagrams in the Club Car Resource forum.

 

[jeffcase]

Dont know how to find the year model.

How do you find the year model?

 

[HotRodCarts]

Look in the passenger side glove box for the tag with the serial number. The first two numbers indicate the year.

 

[jeffcase]

ok its a 1990

Ok this should be the wiring diagram you need.

thank you we have power now in forward and just seliniod click in reverse

 

[HotRodCarts]

It could be a bad connection on one of the cables or a problem with the forward and reverse switch. Start with checking ALL the cable connections.

 

[jeffcase]

ok we have reverse now cable connection clean cart does well on level ground but down to a crawl on any incline

Sonds like one or more weak batteries. Hook your meter to the battery pack and see how low the voltage is dropping when your going up hill and the cart slows down.

 

[jeffcase]

ok could you tell me as to how to attach a meter i have a battery tester will this work

 

[jeffcase]

when testing the batteries all hold 6 volts dropping very little when hitting the load switch on battery tester

 

[HotRodCarts]

The way I check is with a digital volt meter connected to the battery pack. You can also check one battery at a time the same way. Connect the digital meter to the batteries and drive the cart and see how low each battery drops.

 

[jeffcase]

ok checked the b pack started driving at 36.8 volts lost down to 22.6 on the hill

 

[HotRodCarts]

It looks like you have at least one weak battery. What brand of batteries are they? How old are they?

start with batteries and cables, if your unsure about cables get new ones.........clean all post and add distilled water to batteries if needed 1/8 inch above lead plates.......put charger on and let charge until charger shuts off than drive the cart 100 ft to get rid of surface charge.........when thats done test and load test each battery and check each cell with a hydrometer to make sure your dealing with good batteries.....................36.8 volts on a full charge isn,t good at all and if they are dropping to 22 or even 30 volts you have a battery issue or a cable issue so i think you have more than just a bad battery chances are they are shot and need replaced............post all your voltage readings from each battery before and than after a load test and your hydrometer readings ...............................
