First I want to say hi to everyone. I've been reading for quite a while, and now I need some help.
I got my first gas golf cart a few months back, and now I've picked up an electric 78 EZGO.
The batteries were pretty well shot, but there was enough there to insure the cart worked properly, forward and reverse. I know it isn't the best, but while working on the cart I've installed 3 12 volt batteries that I had on hand. I don't want to spend a bunch on new batteries if we run into too many problems while going over the cart.
I've installed the batteries, and I know I have them correct. I drew up a diagram before I started the change. Now that new batteries are installed I get nothing and the golf cart won't run.
After we got the cart there was one time where I know the kids had to pull the cart back to the barn with the 4 wheeler. Now I wasn't there, and I assume they had it in neutral. But now I did notice when I tried the cart it would free wheel if it was in forward or reverse. I wasn't sure if it should do that. I was guessing it shouldn't.
I know one of the first things to do is check all the connections to make sure I have a good ground. But I thought I'd ask about the cart's ability to move freely even when in forward or reverse. I wasn't sure if they messed up something when pulling the cart back.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
