My family uses the golf cart every day, it is very important to me. Thanks in advance for any help.
1981 marathon Textron 575081 Curtis controller
It just suddenly stopped working.
I have fully charged batteries and have full power going through the two small connectors on the solenoid when the peddle is pushed and click is heard (forward and reverse). The diodes appear to be connected and in good order (have not done any further investigation on them. I have verified the motor works with a jumper box. I verified all of the wires were wired properly. I dropped it off at my golf cart guy who told me he thought it was the controller. I purchased a new controller Curtis 1204-027 PMC 24v/36v 275Amp. Its not an exact match as there are two additional connecting spots. a four prong white plastic female connector and a single male connector (see attached pictures Curtis I and Curtis II respectively). The third picture is of my old one after I tore it apart to see if I could find anything burnt and then glued it to re-seal (hack job).
Can anyone advise if the controller not being an exact match is likely the issue and, if so, is there a way to make this controller work on this machine?
Any other ideas...need more information?
Thanks again,
Matt
