Hi,
Great site! Played 27 yesterday and powerwashed the cart after the round. Charged all night. Got in this morning and ran fine for about 100 yds to first tee box. Got back in and pressed the peddle and it started to make a weird sound. The sound is almost like a slip of the transmission. I can feel the motor turn, but I dont go anywhere.
Pushed back to the garage and started to investigate (not really sure what I was investigating, but I jacked it up anyway).
Once on stands I pressed the peddle and I could get the right tire to spin (although not very fast). The driverside tire would not budge. I then took the wheel off of the driver side and thought that the brake might be stuck. I banged on the drum a couple of times to loosen up the brake. That didnt really do anything other then to make the left tire run a bit but the right one now wouldnt go.
I checked the batteries and there is a little corrosion on the terminals. I will wire brush that off tonight.
My question -
The batteries are a little old and need to be replaced soon but would the cart just stop like that because of the batteries being low (even after a full charge the night before) or a little corrosion build up? Could the powerwash sped the corrosion up?
Thanks in advance!
