    Hi jefferyb88 glad to help. You are going to want to check your voltage regulator.

        is the voltage regulator the ribbed box that has 4 wire plug?
        i checked it with an test light with the cart running the only hot wire was the red wire none of the other wires had any fire.

          Your voltage regulator is a little box with 3 wires coming out of it, usually near the solenoid. To test it put a voltage meter on the battery mains, jack up the rear of the golf cart and run it at full governed throttle. If you are getting a reading under 12 volts your voltage regulator is bad.

              Np, It goes in this order. Generator > Voltage Regulator > Battery. If the voltage regulator is not operating it will cut power to the battery in your case, so your battery will not charge.

              You are looking for 13-15 volts on the battery at full throttle for a few minutes. Dont unhook the battery.

                    all it would do was about 12.09 volts. where is a good place to get the regulator?
