Why are my Club Car Brake Lights Not Working?
The frequently reported reasons for the brake light not working in a Club Car golf cart is either a faulty brake light switch or loose wiring. You have to check these two first before moving on to anything else.
- A faulty light bulb
- Loose or disconnected wires
- Faulty brake light switch
Malfunctioning Brake Light Switch
The brake light switch is mounted below the Club Car’s pedal. You will have to remove the floor mat to access it. Most people buying a Club Car do not give much thought to the brake lights. The brake light switch does not form part of the light kit if you have ordered one.
The Wires Should be Connected Correctly
If you have ordered a light kit, you will notice a brown wire going out from it. This should be connected to the purple wire from the ultimate harness. This will complete the circuit for the brake light. Also take note of the extra wires coming from the light kit harness. These are usually of four colors – green, red, orange, and blue. Make sure the green and blue wires are connected.
Check the Bulb
This is a no-brainer. If a light does not turn ON, you would check the bulb immediately. In the case of the brake lights in a Club Car golf cart, there are two brake lights at the rear and if both don’t light up, the problem could be elsewhere.
You also need to check that the bulbs are fitted securely and that they are the correct rating of bulb.
