CLUB CAR DS Resistor and Series DC to Navitas AC MOTOR AND CONTROLLER Conversion

[@christyc911]

Can’t thank you enough !! Something that would have been confusing for me in parts.. you made simple.. and the pedal box fix … you’re awesome at what you do . I was dreading the swap .. but you made it simple! so thank you . And you should start selling the mounting plates .

[@bobgordon5447]

[@jdcook5496]

What if I have an MCOR? Then I have no existing linkage for the PB8 actuator. Is there a separate kit for that?

[@brentseizer1019]

Is this wiring harness made by your company? Or is this something that you found and are modifying for your use? It seems like things like the brown wire for the OBC would never be used since DS resistor carts never had an OBC.

[@brentseizer1019]

At 33:10, your putting 2 small ring connectors on the left side of the solenoid. Why dont you run both wires down the same flex loom and have both wires connected to 1 single ring terminal? Then you can eliminate one of the smaller flex loom branches.

[@MrBlahooters]

I’m guessing that those bundle of wires at the end (red and orange) can be used for the Backup alarm

[@chalier0681]

Great video, and thank you for posting. My question is regarding the main golf cart wiring harness... Does the connector have to be rewired if I'm installing this system to a golf cart other than the club cart? I'm going from a Curtis controller which is also running an 5kw motor currently but I'm concerned that the existing golf cart wiring harness will not fit directly to the navitas controller. Would you be able to provide guidance?

[@brettwoodley5123]

Great video! Dang where was this video 3 weeks ago lol took me forever to figure out the 3900 wire harness for my navitas 600amp 5kw ac conversion in my 95 CC DS. I modified the Mcor4 kit to work with it tho, fairly easy and works awesome! Just have to get the pre MCOR to MCOR4 conversion and then the "hill brake kit" and cut a little off pivot rod to fit pedal stop and reinstall factory return spring. Then you have the latest and greatest throttle controller 👍

[@Cobrardo]

Awesome bro. Let me know how it goes when your finished

I am installing same system. My solenoid is a Curtis/Albright SW180B-1125. I don't have the 2 small lugs on this solenoid? It has spade connectors but not sure which to use?

[@derektanner3057]

Same thing with me. Not the same seleniod as in video

[@brentseizer1019]

Are you going to run 12V accessories? I want to add a relay and fuse block that gets the 48V signal from the key switch. What color is the key switch wire that only has 48V when the key switch is on? There are 2 wires going up to the key switch. One has 48V constant? The other has 48V only when the key is on.

[@daleb2786]

i have a 4 seater lifted club car ds with mcor will the 4kw 600amp work with it?

[@beaucopeland243]

You wouldn't happen to have a harness built our for the Teekon AC kit would you? I'm in the same boat and had a resistor cart that i bought a harness for a ds that uses the black Curtis 1510 controller. I got the Teekon kit all hooked up and but the cart does not go in forward or reverse, thinking I need to jumper a wire somewhere.

[@mikemartin9181]

Cant wait to get my kit!

[@darb115]

Great Video, Super Duper helpful!! I Have a 1997 club car DS - Do you have a video on connecting the charger to the wiring harness? Im using the same charger port that came with the cart. I have a new charger that will work with the system.😀

[@dewaltgrainger2923]

New to the golf cart world and you mention you don’t run rear shocks on the cart, May I ask why?

[@cola-creative]

Can you do this conversion with a D&D motor?

[@brentseizer1019]

I notice that you have lots of colored heat shrink on your bench, but you dont seem to use it. You dont put red heat shrink on the battery end of the cable. That same cable goes to the large lug on the left of the solenoid, but you dont put red heat shrink that covers part of the cable and the crimped portion of the lug. Your 3 cables between the controller and the motor dont have heat shrink matching the colors of the cables that connect at the motor. Do you have a label maker? Dont you label each end of the cables U, V, and W?

[@dannycarter7806]

Great video Ryan, have one question about the Mcor on my 04 club cart ds. The color of wires coming off of my triangle plug is yellow,purple,and black. Since the wiring harness has yellow,purple,and white, does my black wire become white? Thanks!

[@brentseizer1019]

It seems like some of these wires could be put down the same flex loom and those same wires could all be connected to the same ring terminal. That would make eliminate the need for so many pieces of smaller flex loom off the main cable. This would make it look a bit easier. Especially if the ends of the flex loom were labeled with where they are supposed to connect to.

[@zachrenner2794]

So Hey guys, I purchased a full Navitas kit for my DS from you (Golfcartsmodified) and you sent me a pb-6 that Travis modified to have the fifth wire because you said there was a shortage of pb-8s. So, I got the red and black from the switch and another red and black with an added blue wire. I gave you guys a call and sent an email to tell me what was what... nothin'. I can't be the only one, so show me (us) what's what. Good vid though.

[@wesleyholmes7871]

Did you figure this out? I only have 4 wires, two red and two black

[@johncarr123]

We purchased this kit. If we wanted to use the battery meter what colored wires do we use the battery meter? Our meter has +, minus and C

[@jeremyphillips6903]

Where did you get your plate? I can't find it on your website

[@brentseizer1019]

Is there enough diameter in the large flex loom, so that I can add a 8 or 10 gauge red wire that runs from the battery box to behind the dash? Thats where I want to install the fuse block for all of the lights and accessories that are controlled from the dashboard.

[@DrewClark-y3t]

Use that unneeded brown wire for that.

[@DrewClark-y3t]

Just a note. 2 years later and these color combos are not correct. I just installed this on my resistor cart. The colors given for FNR are backwards. Not a huge deal since I could use the app to tell what was what. Grey is FWD and Brown is REV. On the Pedal box. The PB8 I got was a Chinese clone (called CURITS). Grey jacket with red, white and black wires. The instructions given in the video for this box aren't correct. I was gettin max of .68 V upon pedal press. The correct color combo is Red->Harness White (5V+), Black->Harness Purple (GND), White -> Harness Yellow (Wiper). Otherwise, Thank you for this! Couldn't have done it without your instruction.

[@Justin_M]

I have a 04 club car DS not lifted running 25/26 mph with 4 on the cart 28mph with 2 on the cart(D&D speed motor, navitas controller 600amp solenoid and 48v 120ah big battery eagle lithium pack) I am curious if u think the 4k navitas motor upgrade is worth it. What kind of speed will I see? Thanks

Just what I needed. I want to bypass the OBC and you had mentioned you use a different charging system on your cart. Can you point me to that video? We purchased a new external 48 volt charger. It is Diversified Power International Compatible Model villager, Carryall 1500, Carryall 300 Turf, DS, Precedent, Villager LSV Manufacturer Part Number 1RB-48015E20-M00 It says it will not operate unless we bypass the OBC.

Hi Ryan - excellent video! I love my Navitas system. Hoping you can help with a condition. With key on and set to fwd or rev, peddle pressed the solenoid does not always engage. Sometimes repressing the pedal engagss or furning off and on clears the sympton. Also, the cart bucks, loses power while driving, but this may be low battery fluid levels? That fault cleared aftee refilling above the plates. This is on a Club Car.AA0119. Thanks in advance.
