Talking to my friend Dean, at Affordable Golf Carts, he's' had customers bring in their later model golf carts that wouldn't start, when they simply needed to turn the switch under the seat from "Tow" to "Run."

You always want to check the obvious and simple stuff first to find out why your golf cart won't start or why it stops in the middle of the road with your father-in-law not so happily sitting next to you.

At one time my golf cart batteries were not charging. Not wanting to replace a whole set of batteries if it wasn't needed, I unplugged the charger and checked to see if the batteries were bad with a hydrometer. The numbers checked out OK. Batteries seemed good.

Then I brought the golf cart charger to one of the golf cart repair stores for them to check it out. They said it looked good, but suggested I replace the cord since it had some wear and tear after 20 some years. OK, now the charger is good. Well, if I had looked more carefully under the seat, I would have found my problem. There was a little "melting" going on causing an electrical problem. After ordering a few inexpensive parts, the golf cart batteries were again taking a full charge.

Intermittent power or no power at all to your golf cart can be caused by several different failures.  But one possibility is that the golf cart battery cables and/or terminals have built up corrosion causing interruption to the flow of power to your batteries. 

Golf Cart Battery Cables

Golf cart repair can sometimes be as simple as cleaning up corroded battery cables or other times much more involved. Deciding on whether you want to do it yourself or have a dealer fix your problem depends on the complexity of the issue.
