FAQ About Golf Cart Repairs
What goes bad on an electric golf cart?
Electric golf carts have a few parts that commonly wear out over time:
Batteries – The most frequent issue, as they lose capacity with age.
Battery cables & connections – Corrosion or loose connections can cause performance loss.
Solenoid – The switch that controls power flow can fail.
Speed controller – Regulates the motor’s speed and direction, and can malfunction.
Motor brushes/bearings – Wear down with use, leading to reduced performance.
Charger – May stop charging fully or at all.
What is the most common problem with golf carts?
For electric models, dead or weak batteries are the number one culprit. Poor maintenance—such as neglecting to check water levels in lead-acid batteries—shortens battery life and causes many performance issues.
How do you know your electric motor is bad in a golf cart?
Signs your motor may be failing:
The cart struggles to move even with fully charged batteries.
Grinding or unusual noises from the motor area.
Strong burning smell during operation.
The motor feels excessively hot quickly.
No response when pressing the accelerator, but other electrical parts work.
What is the life expectancy of an electric golf cart?
Overall cart lifespan: 15–20 years with good care.
Batteries: 4–7 years for lead-acid; 8–12 years for lithium.
Lifespan depends heavily on usage, climate, and maintenance habits.
What would cause an electric golf cart not to move?
Common causes include:
Dead/weak batteries – Most frequent reason.
Loose or corroded connections – Prevents power delivery.
Faulty solenoid – Won’t allow power to reach the motor.
