Voltage Meter

I checked this one out and it doesn’t come with any wires too connect to the molex connection on the wire harness from the golf cart

What kind of battery meter are you buying that has a molex plug? The only battery meter I’ve ever seen with a molex plug is the one that comes in the Eco Battery kit. If the supplier you are finding these oddball meters from is incapable of sending one that works properly then you’re going to have to chop the plug and go to a spade or ring like every other battery meter out there. Or make a female molex plug to connect between the existing plug and a new meter.
 
I’m just referring to the one that comes with the original cart that has a wire harness that plugs into the original wire harness on the cart. The meter only gives you how much battery life is left in driving distance. Not the actual voltage.

The meter I put the picture of was never factory installed in any golf cart. Either that’s aftermarket wiring or you’re wasting everybody’s time saying you had a meter you don’t actually have. Do you have the meter I shared earlier or is it this one?

There’s a saying, garbage in, garbage out. If you are giving us garbage information you can expect garbage answers.
 
If the limit of your ability is plug and play then you need to buy the same exact part your cart came with and plug it in. Just because some other gauge has a 4 pin Molex connector doesn't mean it is wired in an identical fashion. There was probably nothing wrong with both of the gauges you already tried they just are not wired the same; they are a universal product. Most people would have cut the plugs off and made it fit or if all the wires are the same color on both connectors and not in the same orientation you could take the connector apart and rearrange the pin layout. . You can buy the exact same thing that came on your cart from the EZGO store on Amazon. Stop being PITA and spend the $65. I was able to find it easily.

  • Used on 2008-current E-Z-GO Gas & Electric RXV Vehicles
  • Determines the fuel level in RXV gas vehicles and the batteries' charge level for RXV electric vehicles
  • Made in United States
 
Ok first of all that is not a Molex plug, that is a Delphi/Aptiv Metri Pack 150 connector:

Second it would have been helpful if you had mentioned that you had an RXV before wasting multiple members time filling up 2 pages with irrelevant information. The battery meter on an RXV works completely different than any other golf cart in existence, the meter is controlled by the controller so if you are getting bad readings from multiple different gauges that means you either have a wiring or controller problem, it has nothing to do with the gauge you keep replacing for no reason.

Third I’m done playing the guessing game with people that refuse to provide all the relevant details in their question. I will lay this out very clearly for anyone in the future, if you don’t provide all of the relevant information I will not reply to your post. If you want help you need to provide:

- Year
- Make
- Model
- Drive system (for gas engine manufacturer, displacement, carb or EFI, etc. for electric series, resistor, regen, AC, etc, the specific version or at least what type of controller is in it)
- Battery nominal voltage
- Battery voltage at rest and when trying to go
- Battery type (flooded lead acid, AGM, lithium, auto/marine, etc.)
- Battery age
- How many individual batteries

It is not that hard to find that information just with a simple google search, we can’t help those who can’t help themselves. Even if you are having trouble figuring that out, you can always…

Fourth… POST PICTURES! I’m sure most people are viewing this forum on their cellular telephone which most likely has a built in camera. If you don’t know what you’re working with post pictures so we can try to figure it out. Don’t wait for other people to waste their time trying to find pictures (and then say that the picture is the same one they have when it isn’t).

And fifth, this is a forum, not google. This is for trying to work through problems, not getting an exact diagnosis from a few sentences of vague information. If that’s what you want call a professional shop and pay them for a diagnosis.
