ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND TESTING
Test Procedure 17 - Reverse Buzzer
1. If the vehicle will not move and the solenoids do not click, place the Forward/Reverse rocker switch in the
REVERSE position and listen for the reverse warning buzzer to sound. See WARNING on page 11-11.
1.1. If the buzzer sounds, it is an indication that the Tow/Run switch and the OBC are operating properly and
sending a voltage signal to the other components in the electrical system. Test the voltage at the main
solenoid activating coil. See Test Procedure 3.
1.2. If the buzzer does not sound, the OBC or controller may be defective and should be tested. See Test
Procedure 2. See also following NOTE.
NOTE NOTE
• THE BUZZER WILL NOT SOUND IF IT HAS FAILED. USE THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE TO TEST THE BUZZER.
2. Place Tow switch in the TOW position and disconnect the battery wires (negative cable first).
3. Remove the center dash:
3.1. Remove the plastic cap covering the screw on each side of the center dash panel. Loosen (but do not
remove) these screws.
3.2. Insert screwdriver at the top center of the dash between dash and cowl brace. Gently pry center dash
out from under edge of cowl brace.
3.3. Pull dash out approximately 1 in. from the frame and then bend the top right corner of the dash inward
while pulling the top of the panel out and down. See following NOTE.
NOTE NOTE
• BENDING THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE CENTER DASH INWARD DURING REMOVAL WILL PREVENT THE
CONTACTS ON THE BACK OF THE KEY SWITCH FROM TOUCHING THE METAL FRAME AROUND THE DASH.
3.4. Slide the dash panel up the steering column by snapping the top out and then rotating the panel out
and up.
3.5. Disconnect the orange and red wires from the buzzer. Make sure the wire terminals on the key switch do
not touch vehicle frame.
4. Reconnect the battery wires (positive cable first) and tighten to 110 in.lb (12.4 N-m). Coat with Battery Protec-
tor Spray (Club Car Part No. 1014305) to minimize corrosion.
5. Place the Forward/Reverse rocker switch in REVERSE.
6. Using a multimeter, set to 200 volts DC, place the black lead on battery No. 6 negative post and place the red
lead on the red wire terminal end that was disconnected from the reverse buzzer. The reading should be
approximately 48 volts (full battery voltage).
6.1. If the voltage reading is correct, proceed to step 7.
6.2. If reading is zero volts, check red wire continuity and voltage output of OBC. See Test Procedure 2.
6.3. If the continuity readings are not correct, repair or replace the red wire.
6.4. If the continuity readings are correct, proceed to step 7.
7. Place the F&R switch in REVERSE. Using a multimeter set to 200 volts DC, place the black lead on the orange
wire terminal end (that was disconnected from the reverse buzzer) and place the red lead on battery No. 1
positive post. The reading should be approximately 48 volts (full battery voltage).
