Why is my Golf Cart Buzzer Not Working?
One of the most common issues with the EZ Go golf cart is the buzzer not working when the cart moves in reverse. When you move the cart in reverse, it sends a voltage from the F/R switch to the controller. The voltage sounds the buzzer and sends the reverse current to enable the cart to move backward.
Sometimes you will notice that the cart is moving in reverse, but the buzzer is not sounding. When this happens, it means that the issue lies with the controller, buzzer, or wiring.
In some cases, the solenoid may be the culprit for this issue. If you hear a ‘click’ sound when reversing the cart, you need to check the solenoid. In this case, replacing the solenoid should solve the problem.
