My Club Car Just Clicks & Won't Go

The Club Car is a motorized golf cart used by golf courses and gated communities for travel medium distances in a short time. If you are having problems with your Club Car, you can troubleshoot them yourself. A Club Car that just clicks instead of moving when you turn it on has a problem with its batteries. Water can seep under the hood and get into the batteries. The only way to solve this problem is to change the batteries on the unit.
