Hi everyone,
We just picked up a nice 2002 club car IQ 48v a couple of weeks ago. It's got new batteries in it but its had a little issue a couple of times now. After driving it around for a bit, probably 30+ min at maybe 5-8 mph with a couple of passengers the forward movement will start to slow and then basically stop. I can switch to reverse and it's fine but going back into fwd it will barely move. Both times it happened I let it sit for just a short time (maybe 2-3 mins) and then it went fwd just fine. They motor is warm but no so much that you can't touch it and leave your hand there for at least 10-15 seconds before it gets uncomfortable. I did notice that a part of the frame in the back of the battery compartment was pretty warm as well. I'm assuming that the regulator (or something like that) is mounted to the back side of the frame there and is a heat sink for said component. So any idea what might be going on? What can I check. I'm new to carts but am very adept with electronics.
Thanks in advance
Dan
