I was replacing the shocks in my club car precedent golf cart and accidentally bumped the wiring going to the motor and they sparked. The cart will not move in forward or reverse now. It lurches a little in reverse but won’t move. Any ideas on what I messed up?
Is this a good question?

@scottkrame12806 Check the motor encoder and see if that is what went up in smoke. Use the wiring diagram and see if that will help you to narrow it down. Otherwise your best option would be to post a couple of pictures showing where you bumped the wires etc. Adding images to an existing question Also, see if you can find out what year your cart is.

Ok I just added a picture of what I can see. I’m very new to this so hope this helps.

@scottkrame12806 that is the wiring on top of the motor? Do you have power on it? Voltmeter to any VDC greater than 48vdc and black to ground, red to the post that smoked and see if you get power on it when you try to move the cart. According to the schematic, there is a power fuse on the motor controller. Check that fuse and see if it has continuity
