 Okay guys, shea bear 1,000 here today. We're gonna be working on this thing again. We're gonna pull it around front I moved the vat Think we're gonna check this Speed control here see what we can figure out with that thing. I want to check the resistance on that I might have to get into batteries I'll explain that to you later Let's get in here and let's pull it around front. Okay Good test on the batteries here. I didn't charge it overnight. I just wanted to see But technically you should charge these things anytime you park them even if you park them for an hour You should put them on the charger. So Let's see if it'll move Yeah Looks like our gauge is all the way up. So I did unhook the Stupid brace I did unhook the Backup beeper But we'll check that I'll show you when I'm talking about these batteries. I got to build a battery tray I take the seat out because this thing will raise up more With the seat out of it. That's what it is. These things are like Those switches and they call pot boxes. Yeah pot box B. O. T. B. O. X They're like 50 bucks. Let me get you up on a stand and get my multi meter and We'll start doing some checking okay guys, so I've got my own meter here. I Got this little Guide here that's going to tell me how to test this thing and I'm going to tell you in case you need to test yours On this particular one. There's a white and black wire here. Okay. Now remember the key is off All right Of course, it's in neutral. So We're going to plug these two wires. He can't mix them up. They're white and black. All right so now We're going to put our leads on here. I just want to go into the black one but I'll have to hold that Now I want to put this one in here I'll see what it says Disconnect white and black lead wires from wire harness to speed To speed switch Under front body switch vote on meter to ohm scale capable of measuring one zero to a hundred ohms Okay, we're going to do that. Well, I've already done that's on 200. Let's turn it on here Now we're going to check this I'm trying guys. Okay. Where'd the other one go? Check this it says Zero to 50 ohms resistance is good greater than 50 ohms refer to pot switch Adjustment if adjustment does not correct replace pot switch or speed switch assembly Now we're going to connect The leads which it's reading nothing Think I got it on there right Which are already connected Okay From the speed switch Do not depress accelerator leave key in off position Leave oh meter leads connected to white black leads speed switch Switch oh meter to scale capable of measuring up to 6,000 ohms so we're going to go up to 20,000 ohms All right now Measuring set out 6,000 ohms slowly depress accelerator and monitor change No, I don't I know you guys can't see that but give me a second here and hold up guys One the wrong wire here hang on Okay, but let's turn that to 200 nothing Let's go to 20,000 and we're going to depress this paddle slowly and It's doing nothing. This is my batter going dead in this thing 20,000 it worked yesterday. I just can't remember what the readings were One the wrong wire again. Hang on guys this one. There we go. Let's put it down to 200 200 ohms 358 It should be 50 358.5. It should be 50 greater than 50 ohms Or we may have to adjust the switch Okay, now Let's put it up to 20,000 We're going to hook this up Make sure I get the right one again Now we're going to slowly We're going to slowly bring this up. It should be between 4,500 That's not reading right should be between 4,500 and 5,000 well there's a 4,500 But what I'm going to do what I want to do here I'm going to record this because I want to go in and see see on my paddle, okay? Then I'm going to come back out and review this So hang tight. Okay guys, so I'll show you what I was doing This comes from your throttle and when you push the throttle down it pulls that down, okay? And that's what we were measuring the resistance of the silver box. That's a micro switch I know it's good. Now. This was reading when I checked it. So I knew it Well, I figured it was good, but it was reading. So I thought well, you know I Don't know what the numbers are. So that's when I look this up Okay, and it says if rising resistance is erratic or skips as pedal is depressed Replace speed switch pot box assembly if maximum resistance is less than or greater than 4,500 to 5,500 ohms adjust pot switch to correct And then the real adjustment is right here. I can move this down to one of the lower holes So it won't pull the switch down as far this If I adjust the cable it actually will make it pull down farther. So I'm gonna I'm just gonna take this off of here Let's take that apart and see if it needs cleaned or something all it is This is a bolt up here that goes through And there's a bolt down on the bottom that goes through I'm gonna take them out We're gonna pull that off of there and we're gonna check it See if it's dirty or anything like that now Okay, here's what I found out more information on this thing Now her mom says she thinks this is an O5. All right, so But she can't remember at all when when they got it they traded a Cadillac for it And of course it was in pretty good shape then So Let's see monkey and I've been together over six years Of course they had it then and So I don't know how long they've had it so but Now she said this thing always did that when you would push it clear to the floor it would just stop Okay, and she told me that one day one night they took it out for dinner Her parents and they got in it You know they parked did their thing got in it wouldn't it wouldn't run wouldn't do nothing Just like it did on me here about a year and a half ago She can't remember what it was or what her dad had done to it to fix it But he fixed it But it still did the I don't think it's in limp mode because usually limp mode You can push that pedal all the way the floor It just goes really slow like five to eight miles an hour ish because this thing should run between 12 and 14 Okay, so But ever since they got it It had this issue From day one that they've had it had this issue they like I said yesterday they You know monkey bought her parents very new batteries put in here. They put all new batteries and cables in it then and And So I'm and it's still done. It's I'm pretty sure that It's not in a battery issue Although I'm pretty sure some of the batteries are getting old maybe even weak, but I did check this thing Yesterday and it read good. I'll check it again, but it should be you know around 50 volts full charge but I Mean for just to stop running. I don't know I'm gonna go ahead and pull that off there real quick Like I said, it's that bolt right there and then there's a bolt here on top and one on bottom I'll unplug that that a micro switch there. It looks like there's some screws I can take out and we'll check the inside that see if it needs clean There we go When you take your cable off you might want to mark it Whichever hole it was in but in this case we know it was clear on the outer holes, so I'll be fine It looks like we can adjust this to Right here kind of like a governor There's the micro switch Take these screws out see what happens. Okay, so what I've done is I've got to take this Top mounting plate off for that micro switch. I Don't know if these are going to come off with it And if they do this switch will flip just keep they'll just flip around I don't want that happening. So I just wired that switch up to this So let's go ahead and Start That's easier than I thought it was gonna be So Let me get my magnetic tray before I lose something. Okay These must be stainless steel Oh things turning Because it's The screw is not sticking to the magnet. So but the washer is so that's still going to help Okay Let me get a pair of pliers and hold this So I don't break anything because this This is something that don't want to break at least I can still move the thing around here, you know, so I Don't want to break it to where it's not going to move Okay, now let's see what we can do here. Let's see if we can strip something out Maybe Make me break this bolt off. I don't know now these are slotted holes but I can see I can see where That was that's the adjustment for that switch that micro switch there might have speed you guys up on this Think she's coming now insert your own joke Okay That was really tight, but you know, you got any time you put any kind of steel inside aluminum No, it doesn't rust, but it will Like corrode together. Let's check these out Nice Think they're all the same screws aren't they? Yeah, except these don't have These are more of a metal screw and they don't have a washer on them see their self taffers See a little drill bit on the end so YouTuber That I follow and he follows me as well. We followed we have followed each other for years he goes by a Rednecks life. That's the name of his channel now. These are sticking these are metal He made a comment on yesterday's video about my batteries that I wouldn't have thought of in a million years He said, you know, he suggested I look for refurbished batteries because he said, you know being down in Florida There's probably, you know all kinds of Golf part places in there are there's pretty much one on every corner Not in this town, but they're all over the place. So I will check into that. So thanks for that tip. I appreciate it You guys remember that too. So all right Okay, well, it's an actual potentiometer There's really I don't want to take that clear apart and I'm not going to I don't have any deoxid or anything to spray down inside their contact cleaner So I'm not no, I'm not gonna I you can take these apart But I'm not going to do that if I had another one I would Just to see if that would fix it. So what I'm probably going to do is try the next hold down and see what happens with that Like I said, we may have to adjust this piece here So That's what holds them on just another screw inside there Yeah, I'm not Yeah, I'm not gonna do that. All right, so I'm gonna put this back together guys Thought there might be a sweep I think easy go calls it a wiper I think they call it a wiper switch because it like wipes It's it reminds me of the old controllers It's used to have the pistol grip controllers for electric racetracks. I mean it could be bad No, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna take that apart So I'll try the adjustment first and if that don't work Then I'll consider ordering one of these They're anywhere from 50 to 80 dollars online Yeah, like I found one for 52 and then of course look like the same exact company just the different or same Look like the same thing just just branded differently, you know, so I don't know Yeah, if this if adjusting it don't work, I will get another one But there could be other issues. I mean But it being that it's done it even since it had new batteries in it. I'm not thinking it's the batteries right now Causing it just to stop like that if it was running slow or something. I can see that but I really don't think that's what it is So let me get this put back together Just these four screws and then the two on top like I said, I know exactly where they need to be Could be you know my controller itself In the cart, I don't know. Let me get this back together I'll get it put back on and instead of being on that outer hole and we'll put it on the next one to it And we'll give that a shot. So real quick if you ever Have to change just this little micro switch What you would do I'm gonna get you shot in there with the guy Cutting something across the street Okay, see that potentiometer or the switch. So what you would do is You put your switch on and you loosen these two up and Then all you do is slide it back up against here just till you hear it click That's that's all there is to adjusting them. Okay guys so Put it in hooked it up checked again. This is what I come up with Okay, so Do I think it fixed it? I don't know guys We're gonna find out though and take it for a little Little ride here. I need a gear shift in here Now since I lowered that down I'll have to adjust the pedal, you know, so that there's not a I haven't floored it yet, so and no it didn't take care of it. See Now if I turn it off Turn it back on Now we can go as long as I go easy with it But if I put it to the floor Just stops so see that's annoying as hell Just coming up a little tiny Edge of the road here. So it's still Still not it's reading rate Reading like it's good. It's not I don't think I'll put it back the way it was I'll do some more research and do some more checking if that's it I don't have a problem with buying one, but I don't want to buy a part. I don't need okay guys So here's I had to take it apart because I put it back together and nothing happened see the tracks whoops See the tracks there They're missing up around there and that's about Where it would be when it shut off Right about there. It's missing something right in there. I've got it adjusted now 42 it needs to be below 50 So I'm gonna put that back together and give that a shot See what happens. I'm gonna keep messing with it. All right guys, so that's a wrap on that one Yeah, that pop box is bad for sure So what I did was I took it off and you know you seen what I did and everything Justed it was the same so I took it off to adjust it according to the specs and I mean, it was it was crunchy You know kind of like a volume knob really is all it is so like if you We've all had that radio that you go to turn up or down and it crackles and stuff. That's what they do so Yeah, so I think that was a problem all along that they had with it The weird thing I checked those batteries are bulging. I checked everyone in batteries and they're all at 50 at the whole pack all eight of them are coming up to 50 volts and each Battery is six point Between six point six volts and six point eight volts. So the batteries are still okay. So I know it's not the batteries You know, I know it's not that It could be a controller itself But I think that's that's a big problem of it because either way it's gonna need one of them. It's not Soon as I put the the old meter on it and tried to adjust it a little bit. It just it would go haywire, you know, it would go Well the last time I checked it was off-camera before I took it apart and When I barely move it was it had jumped up to 70 so and when I tried to adjust it It jumped up to like 90 and down to 14 and then it would go just clear off the scale and just not even read So yeah, it's a good thing I didn't take that thing somewhere because it was way on its way out because it got worse. It used to be I Could write it anywhere around here as long as I didn't go to the floor But now you can see it. It doesn't even want to pull out of the yard. Well, it didn't so I think that's what the problem is So anyway guys That's that so I'll keep you posted I'm gonna see See if I can find one reasonable I Was looking for a potentiometer and I looked them up and I can find them but for like 20 bucks but Everybody's out of stock and the only company that had it in stock Okay, it was gonna cost $30 to ship it and that's here in the United States to ship that little So I would have 50 some dollars in it I'm gonna see if I can find that one. I looked at I think it was around 50 bucks if you get one The actual one that goes into that. It's 101 dollars. I'm I don't want to do that. So I'm gonna do my research and Yeah, I know I'm gonna do my research and see what I can come up with and I'll keep you guys posted on that thing Let you know what's going on it with it here in a couple days. So thanks for watching guys Appreciate it. Shea bearer the myth of main alleged. I'm gone for now You drive something in you got to push it out Makes sense, right? We'll see you in the next one. Bye. Bye guys and take care
