Hello! New to this site and can say so far I like the information I have found here. I recently purchased a 85 Club Car DS gas model golf cart that had been running, but the previous owner informed me it had quit and was having electrical issues. He said he had to replace the 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp to keep it going. So far I have checked for grounds/shorts on all the wires on the ignition switch, installed a new solenoid, new ignition switch installed. This cart has headlights/brake lights, but they are wired direct to the battery. The cart starts fine with a new fuse and will usually run for 5-15 minutes, but keeps blowing the fuse. I have not tried going with a 15 or 20 amp fuse. From what I have read 10 amp is correct. I have checked all the micro switches and they appear to be working fine. Can a bad micro cause a problem with that fuse? The fuse blows when the cart is in motion, although a couple times it blew quickly as soon as it started. Fuse does not blow when the ignition switch is just turned "on" but blows after the gas pedal activates the solenoid. The fuel pump is 12 electric and works but is kind of loud. Could it be drawing too many amps and causing a blown fuse? There is a fuse panel behind the ignition switch with the older glass fuses, but I am fairly certain those are for the lights. I do have a wiring schematic for the cart. Am running out of idea's, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
