How to troubleshoot a golf cart

Start with safety: turn the key off, set the run/tow switch to the correct position and disconnect the battery pack before touching wiring. Most no-start and low-power complaints trace back to the basics, so check battery charge and terminals, cable connections, the charger and the solenoid before replacing expensive parts.

Pick the symptom that matches your cart above, follow the guide step by step, and stop if a fix needs tools or voltage testing you are not comfortable with. Our technicians can finish the job safely.
