I have an older electric ez go cart, like 84 I think. There are 4 wires running to back where one connects to a spring looking thing. That spring is glowing red hot. Any suggestions?

HI. The thermostats in this particular case will be the focal point for your troubleshooting. I would recommend to test all that are included in the unit, especially, the high limit thermostat. I believe this will be the culprit. Be sure that the unit is well ventilated, also. clean out the entire ventilating assembly, if needed.
Thermostat testing procedure:

To test the thermostats or fuse, set your multimeter to the ohms setting X1. Touch one probe to each terminal. You should get a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, the thermostats should have a reading of zero. When the thermostats are heated to their limit temperature, they should switch off and you should get a reading of infinity. The fuse should be tested at room temperature for continuity.

NOTE_ If all temperature monitoring devices test out ok; Replace the main control device.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about why an electricdryer will not stop heating sometimes.

Hello,

These 2 things your describing are they on the housing where the heat element or the housing where the lint filter is??
i suspect they are the housing where the lint filter goes and the white on is the thermal fuse and it is good because it has contunuty on it (if it were bad the dryer would not start) the one w/4 wires is the cycling thermostat annd it too is good...the red wires will have continuty and the purple wires will not.

NOW THEN WHAT YOU NEED TO CHECK is the heat element for continuty AND both of the thermostat on the housing where the element fits BOTH t-stats on that housing should have continuty.

Red&black are hot
white is neutral
green is ground

on the 3 wire cord
the outside wires go on the outside terminals on the connection block
the center wire goes on the center terminal

SOURCE: On a electric hot point dryer is it normal to see it glowing red on back side of dryer

Yes, the heating coils will certainly glow red. Normal.
