What could be causing my golf cart to lose power? In the morning, it barely goes up the hills. It seems to run normally at night, but when I hit the gas pedal the lights go completely out.

I have an electric club golf cart. It runs much slower than it did a year ago. I have it on the charger when I'm not using it. A few months ago, I left the lights on overnight. The next day it wouldn't start. After that is when I noticed having problems with the golf cart. Sometimes it seemed to work fine, & other times it would die on me. I just replaced the fuse, & it seemed to help give it some more power, but it's still slower than it used to be. I checked the water levels & can't find any loose wires. I can see & hear that it's charging when I plug it in. I'm not sure why it doesn't seem to have much power in the mornings but runs fine at night. Or why my lights go out when I hit the gas. Please help if you can.

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

SOURCE: "check system charging" is coming on at high RPM's

You have an alternator problem, have Kragen auto or a store like it test the alternator for proper operation, it's free.

SOURCE: engine turns over fine , car will not start.

well the first part of your question i was all ready to tell you to put a new fuel pump in, now not so sure, there is a relay for fuel pump, can you hear pump cycle and relay click? relay under hood you will have to listen close they don't run long maybe a couple secounds, if you don't relay bad. if you do pump could be bad, do fuel pressure test pump could be weak. don't think sunroof and turn signals are related, but stranger things have happend.

SOURCE: 1996 tahoe won't start

double check battery under load and verify it will hold for 10 seconds without dropping out under 10.5 volts , very possible there is a draw somewhere , check this by pulling fuses one by one with amp meter connected until you see maybe .3 volts .1 volt is normal

SOURCE: 96 Dodge Ram suddenly had low bat power - hard start - runs poor

Any time the computer loses power it has to go threw a set of things to Learn how to run the car, it must go threw relearning process sometimes they never set all flags because you don't drive in conditions to set a flag, for example if you are in the desert and never drive up a hill like in Colorado then you would never meet that flag requirement, as for the low voltage it seems that the ASD shorts out on these rigs and sets the codes so you have to do a pin out of the computer to see if you have a bad ground a bad asd or asd relay and you would have to charge your battery to full capacity and do a voltage test and a load test on the battery and then see if the alternator is putting out.. Check the battery and charging system first.

1997 chevy 3500 5.7l loses power on inclines

Do you have a check engine light on? Have you done an engine control module fault code test (OBD2 control system), is fuel pressure OK under a load? Has the fuel injector spider manifold (inside the throttle bore) assembly been replaced, that is a known problem.
