Help! I recently purchased a 2010 Zone Electric golf car. The thing is literally brand new with the plastic wrap still on the seats.
After I had the thing a couple of days, I discovered that the built in charger would not charge the batteries.
Since the thing sat unused for quite a while I figured that the batteries might have issues, so I pulled them all out and took them to the local Interstate dealer to have them checked. It is a 48V cart with 8 6volt deep cycle batteries. All of the batteries charged fine at the interstate dealer and all passed the load test.
When I was reinstalling the batteries, I noticed that there was a loose wire in the battery compartment that I had not seen when I pulled the batteries out. I had very carefully drawn a wiring diagram and position of the batteries when I removed them so I know I did not disconnect this wire, but somebody had messed with the batteries before I bought the cart so I am assuming they disconnected this wire and forgot to reconnect it.
My question is this: Where the heck does this wire go? The wire is white with an orange stripe and has a connector on the end of it that looks like it goes on a battery post. It has a yellow collar on the end of the wire with the number 12 on it, and the wire is encased in a heavier black sheath almost like a piece of shrink tubing. I know I can probably trace the wire back to it's source, but I thought I anybody had one of these carts (Zone electric) they could take a look at theirs and let me know where it goes.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
