Something's up with my club car. It will not charge, thought maybe it was the charger so I borrowed someone else's and when you plug it in it does nothing either. Batteries are pretty new.

Dead cell?

Short in the charge circuit?

Is the charger plugged into the wall outlet?
Try a different outlet if yes.

Tried a different plug with no luck. I've never had any trouble with it therefore I don't know much about it. Guess I will have to take it in

I believe in cheap stuff, so I know you tried a different outlet. If both were in your garage they could be on a gfi protected circuit. Check that.


Then get multimeter and see of your charger works.

Call autozone and see if they can test the batteries.

Make sure you are refilling water in your batteries. It has to be done more often than you think(like once a month) and only use distilled water. Also, if your batteries have discharged below a certain level the club car charger will not work. You will have to dis connect the batteries and charge each battery with a regular charger back up to a level where the club car charger will work.

I would try this anyway. There may be a break in the circuit in the installed charger.

Had this problem with mine. Did you leave it sit up awhile?

If the batteries go below a certain voltage the charger will not kick on, to fix you will need to get a 6v charger and charge each battery by it self while being disconnected of course.

After try plugging in cart charger and see if fixed.

I have a 2002 Club Car DS and had the same problem after I replaced the controller. There was a popped fuse that was located behind the charging receptacle. Gray wire, yellow case.

I had done a visual inspection and it looked fine, but as soon as I replaced it, no more charging problems.

Might help?

I'm gonna try that fuse tomorrow. Everything I ready points to the OBC being out. Hope not

Had this exact same problem with my club car. Turns our corrosion had eaten away at part of one the cables that I couldn't see but it was enough to keep it from charging. Check all wires
