How To Fix A Club Car Golf Cart that Randomly Dies While Driving | MCOR Replacement

[@6862ptc]

This was exactly my issue with my 2015 Club Car Precedent. I watched the video, ordered the part in the Amazon link (part came in 2 days). It took 45 minutes from start to finish, and now the golf cart is good as new! Thanks for you helpful video!!!

[@newmikeman]

Never heard of an MCOR but your video described my situation perfectly. Ordered the part from the link, watched the video a couple of times, gained the confidence needed tackle the job and now I have a great running cart. Thank you so much!

[@larryjameson7240]

You are the man !!! You help out a lot of people with your knowledge!

[@mikeerstad3705]

Yet another part I wasn't aware of.....I just purchased a 2018 Club Car Precedent and don't know much about them....but I will from watching your videos..... Thanks Much....

[@jasonburton7207]

Your videos are by far the best in the golf cart community. p.s. save some of the ladies for us man

[@Wilnip]

Excellent video. I just got a 2012 model. My 1st cart, and its doing exactly what yours was doing. Going to order the MCOR now. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@georgesullivan2198]

Thank you Ryan! I had suspected the MCOR, you confirmed it for me, replacement was only $37. Thanks for add the link!

[@pugear]

Ryan this was just the video I needed. I was having acceleration issues on my 2017 and though maybe it was the controller or something but I replaced the MCOR as you showed and I am good to go! It was easy other than fighting a rusty bolt. Thanks!!!

[@shawtdog]

WHY WOULD THEY CONSIDERED TAKEN IT TO A SHOP IF THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A FRIEND IN THE FAMILY THAT'S THE MAN WHEN IT COMES TO FIXING ANYTHING TO DO WITH A GOLF CART MR. RYAN WOULD'VE BEEN MY THE FIRST CONTACT 😂😂

[@captainmiserycustom2764]

This is great. I’m pretty sure this is the issue with my 1012 club car. Very well don’t video. Great explanation of what was done. Thanks !!

[@coolin__]

Why did you leave in the part where you smacked the back of the trailer? Hilarious 😂. Great video though.

[@RBallarddesigns]

Good info Ryan. Could you cut the old one open and see if it is corroded inside? I’m wondering if hitting it with some dielectric grease would help?

[@Fentertainment]

I think I still have it

[@beerbrewer7372]

Anytime you can fix it yourself versus taking to a shop is great thing! Bonus is you save yourself some $$$.

[@DOiTAGAiN84]

Hey brother, great video. I have a question for you if you dont mind. I know very little about golf carts but a elderly neighbor of mine asked me for help. She has 6, 8volt Trojan batteries in her club car and she says that she cannot play a full 18 without the cart dying. It does not hold a charge long enough. Do you have any suggestions into what i should be looking into? Any adive sould be appreciated. Thanks!

[@Fentertainment]

Look at the top of the batteries on the terminal. Should have a letter and number stamped into the terminal. Letters will be months and number is the year. That will tell you how to determine the year of the batteries and just know they usually last 5 years "if taken car4e of properly". I would also check the water levels in each battery as they should be just above the plates in the batteries (monthly maintenance). Check the voltage of each battery and then the pack voltage. Might have a low battery.

[@markpyskadlo7576]

Had a similar issue with my '13 Precedent. Called the shop I have purchased parts from previously, who suggested it is likely either the solenoid or MCOR. I bought a new OEM solenoid and he threw in a MCOR made in China for free. I was told if it was the MCOR, to purchase an OEM one because the ones made in China stop working after a few months. It ended up being the solenoid, so I never had to replace the MCOR.

[@Fentertainment]

Ive had some to last me over a year and ive had some last me a couple weeks. Its really hit or miss with them. But $35 is a gamble some are willing to take. My golf cart WLKNTALL has an oem on it. I paid over $150 for it.

[@houseful4him]

This did not work on our 2010 precedent. Ours stops and brakes when we let off the pedal. If we are driving at full throttle, it does not stop. We have replaced the MCOR, the speed sensor, and the Solenoid with diode. I have a toggle forward reverse switch on order. I don't know what else to try if that doesn't work.

[@Internetpilot]

"Everyone" told me the same thing about Chinese sourced MCOR's, but when my 2016 Precedent started having jerky acceleration and I checked out buying an OEM MCOR, I about choked over the price. So I ended up buying the same 10LOL brand MCOR, and I've done more "LOL's" than 10 since it's still working 1.5 years later. I'm sure there are some non-OEM ones that quickly fail, but since most parts (yes, even OEM) are made in the same Chinese factories, it's financially wiser (and definitely worth the risk) to try the significantly cheaper part first. By the way, good karma fixing a friend's cart like that. I don't have a problem with cart shops charging a lot of money to fix or upgrade several things wrong with a cart, but for something obviously simple like this to charge $400+ is just a con. Shop fees are shop fees, but there's no way replacing even an OEM MCOR should be $400.

[@BrianCoker-z1n]

Noticed the SC sticker. I’m in Augusta GA and looking for someone to work on my 2013 Precedent. It only goes at half speed, sputters, and runs the battery down quick.

[@jaystevens427]

Beautiful square body in the background!

[@Fentertainment]

Just waiting to ruin it!

[@Michael-hv3kg]

Great. Thanks. Would this MCOR be the same on a 2010 Yamaha G29

[@JimErdman-b2y]

Great video! I replaced the MCOR on my 2005 club car precedent. Car performed pretty much normal however it did pause a couple times any suggestion?

[@brooket5739]

I have a 2016 EZGO RXV that's doing the same thing! Had the battery cables replaced at a shop. Did not fix the issue. And advice??

[@scottbrown3445]

My mcor 4 conversion on my 99ds 48v just went today it would bog down randomly then be fine for days or just click when I push the pedal but no movement so I suspect the mcor as now it just clicks and refuses to move pack voltage is at 52v full charge time to order up an mcor I guess 😢

[@jamesjohnson5937]

Hey you are the man! I have a 2010 club car precedent which is going thru the same issue. At cold start it will roll backwards or forwards two or three feet and stop. I turn the switch off, wait a few seconds and it does the same thing all over again. I installed a brand new MCOR last evening, charged the batteries over night(which are only 6 months old), got up this morning and found her still doing the same thing. At time of battery installation I also installed brand new cables and stainless nuts. She was running great until 2 weeks ago. She helped in doing yard work and running errands 1 day and sick the next day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want to take her to the shop. I’m a dyi’er by nature and want to fix her myself. Thanks in advance.

[@Nerves848676]

Great video thx for it and your help. I would do just that . Mine is doing exactly the same. ?? Is do they all take different MCOR?? Mine is a Club Carr

[@123leopena]

hi, have 48v club cart president runs great on low speed but when depress the pedal fully it stalls, could it be my controller or MCOR ?

[@GaryLarson-w8h]

Have a question. I have a 2007 Yamaha Utv. Driving slowly it will stop and after several minutes it will start moving again. Batteries are newer and charged. Any idea what to checkout??

[@jacksonvillepaintballairsoft]

I am hoping this is what is my issue. Randomly stopped driving like you stated, sometimes would go in reverse, and sometimes not. I just ordered one and in a couple days I will let you know if it worked. I had this issue for a year, now it pretty much will not work at all.

[@Yimmsta]

Did it work

[@garytube1050]

Have changed the speed sensor and the mcor, nether seems to help. What might be the next solution.

[@markb3129]

I have a 2005 president, I needed to adjust the brakes the other day and noticed the 2 wire plug wires were striped about 1/4" and twisted together (not cut) and plug in the emcor. What do you think the reason for that is? ✌🏻

[@goldenlife9856]

The two wire plug is just a micro switch that tell the controller you are actually pressing the pedal. I think it's the most common failure. I have one similar and I just put the cart in neutral and pop the pedal a couple times to clean the contacts and it works for a couple weeks. One day I'll replace it. You can break it open and replace the micro switch.

[@lindalodovice6340]

[@scottrogers9589]

I have a 2014 EZGO TXT electric cart. If i am at dead stop and press gas pedal to floor it loses all power . I just changed to lithium batteries . Could there be some type of protection form power surge causing loss of power ? Thanks

[@lonestarwakegabe591]

Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I have the same exact problem. I swapped to lithium batteries. Everything ran great but after about four months, it cuts out whenever I step on the gas and I have to reset the battery.

[@harmonchandler6164]

I just changed all the micro switches and it did good for a couple days now it’s doing the same thing again 2 weeks later.

[@GAQ0709]

Hi could you possibly help me? I’m having trouble 36 volt ezgo. Txt pds. I fried my controller and don’t know what else to check? New solenoid and new controller. When I turn the key on press forward or reverse and press on the pedal the motor runs for 3 seconds and controller pops. The reverse buzzer works but won’t run after the pop. I have checked my wiring and battery volts, ITS, micro switch. Honestly checked everything and about to pull my hair. When I got the cart all the electrical was cut out down to a bare frame. The motor tested and works . Can you help me? Thank you.

[@chrispeterson4781]

Are the mcore specific to the year? I’m not sure what year my cart is…

[@kylefishing21]

Just bought a club car precedent 2016 with lithium. My pedal always works but it bucks or surges up to 3/4 pedal. At full speed it is smooth but when trying to go slow it lurches like it accelerates then cuts power over and over again. Could this also be an mcor?

[@Fentertainment]

yessir

[@jd2757]

I had a problem with power drop-outs, but it would only last 1-2 seconds, usually going up a hill, and sometimes when starting from a dead stop. I replaced the speed sensor and the drop-outs went away... and the cart speed went way up. MCOR replacement looks very easy... wondering if I should do that as well?

[@Fentertainment]

If it’s not broken don’t mess with it.

[@frankcasendino8662]

Had this issue many times. Most of the time its the sensor. Not to say it couldn't be the MCOR, but I check out the sensor first. Less expensive fix to. If MCOR, don't buy cheap China crap. Always buy OEM. More money, but will last

[@tommoore5163]

I need advice. What is your recommendation for life po4 48 volt (4 12 volt batteries) for a Star EV golf cart. I have watched your Joybot videos and they look good to me. Are they Bluetooth? What type of dash m❤ounted meter would 😢.

[@Scoobydowork420]

Would a 2004 have a mcore also? Wr are having the same issue

[@austintevis7304]

I have same cart as this one and with my batteries charged it will only go 6mph peddle all the way down. I have had it take off for a sec like it wanted to go faster but then goes back to 6 mph. Never dies out. Could this be mcore as well or something else. Thanks for all your great videos

[@Fentertainment]

Could be the speed sensor is bad on the side of the motor. That is another cheap fix. I havent had one do that yet to me so I havent made a video. But you can get this speed magnet to gain a few extra mph as well - amzn.to/45miDTr

[@skelly49]

This same thing happens to me but I have an EZGO any ideas what it would be?

[@Fentertainment]

the ezgo one is under the floor mat, pull up the metal cover and then pull up the plastic lid. Its called a ITS Inductive Throttle Sensor.

[@ScottieBMan]

Would the same go for a 04 club car DS that won’t start going until the pedal is FULLY depressed? It’s pretty much all or nothing on the speed.

[@Fentertainment]

Sometimes they act like that. Just like you have no sweep in acceleration until it hits wot.

[@ScottieBMan]

@@Fentertainment exactly, ok I will changed mine out too then, thank you so much man, your info is great, love the channel!

[@toddfromflorida]

Haven't heard you comment on this yet in the video so apologies if you did. But do you notice a reliability difference between the aftermarket mcors and a oem one?????

[@ginabrown5093]

Ours is a 1998 and does not have a mcor, so what would we need to do on it for this same issue? Any ideas?

[@Fentertainment]

If you have a 98 club car then you have a ds. The mcor location on a ds is on the passenger side frame rail under the passenger side of the cart. If it doesnt have the ds then you have a vglide and its under the seat on the drivers side frame rail. It will be a 1/4 round plastic box shaped like a slice of pizza. You will have one of the 2 and it could have either one.

[@stingingblade88]

I have that same problem every year. And have to replace that what can I do to prevent this from reoccurring

[@Fentertainment]

Buy oem club car parts

[@DANIAC262]

Just drill a small hole in the mcor and spray some qd electrical cleaner in there or some wd40. Works wonders.

[@MarshMarlowe12]

When these MCORs fail, is it a constant inability to run the cart consistently? Or could it fail, then work again for a few miles, then fail, etc?

[@Fentertainment]

The latter. But that’s the sign it’s going out.

[@tommoore5163]

I am looking to convert a Star EV golf cart to 48volt (4 12 volt) life p04 batteries. I have watched a lot of your videos and the Joybot interests me. What type of battery meter would you recommend? Are the Joybot batteries Bluetooth. Thanks in advance. Tom M.

Thank you so much. My parents club car us doing this and I am trying to fix. It is a 1999. I can't find a part for a 99. Also does the part go by a different name. Many thanks, Lydia 4/17/24

[@Fentertainment]

For a 1999 they should have a club car ds which is the older body style cart and in my opinion the best looking cart. On that cart the MCOR will be located on the passenger side under the cart on the frame rail. It will be a black box mounted to the frame rail. If you look down there and there isnt anything, then they might have a Vglide under the seat on the drivers side. It will be shaped like a slice of pizza and will be black as well. They are only on the drivers side under the seat mounted on top of the frame. If its a v glide then you need to know if its a sepex cart with a push button fnr switch or manual turn lever. There are 2 different types.

[@LydiaFellner]

Hi. Thank you very much. You have been most kind and helpful. I appreciate you. Lydia
