Club car golf cart has clicking sound in rear

check speed controller

Have the battery checked. Especially make sure they do a shunt regulator test on the cells. Sounds light a shorted cell in the battery.

What kind of cart is this and what year and model?
Ezgo, Club Car?

There is some confusion regarding this topic, which appears to be about a go-cart but listed as a problem about a 600 Amp programmable controller.
If your question is about a go-cart, then that clicking noise is likely to be normal. If the cart does not have a proper rear drive axle with a differential (crown wheel and pinion type) then one or both of the rear wheels will have a ratchet or sprag clutch. This is necessary because in a turn the wheel on the outside of the turn has to travel further and faster than the wheel on the inside. If the two wheels were going the same speed in a turn the tyres would skid. The Ratchet mechanism allows for one wheel to go slower than the other and operates like a rear sprocket on a bicycle.

This is the most helpful group of cart enthusiasts you can find. I have gone from not knowing anything about carts to a decent tech. These guys know the ends and ours of every cart out there. You need to give more details about your cart so that I can begin diagnosing.

Wiring, fuse and switch. Check for voltage at switch first, if none, check for a fuse in the circuit. I would suspect a fuse or faulty switch first.

the module on the end of the motor should do the trick.

See if the motor is bad. If the motor is getting really old the bearings in it may be getting to where they do not turn so easily anymore. On some electric golf carts there is a pressure switch under the seat that if you are not sitting in the cart it will stop the motor for safety reasons. If this switch goes bad then the cart does not know if you are sitting there or not. We used to test these switches by jumping the wires of the switch together to fool the cart into thinking that we were always sitting on the thing. It is a good way to test the switch but not a great way to keep it that way, that switch is there for a reason. If it is bad then get a replacement.

*NOTE: Not all carts have this switch, check with the manufacturer.
