Why are my EZGO golf cart rear wheels locking up?
The EZGO golf cart rear wheels can start locking up because of faulty brakes, low pressure fluid, or a bad proportional valve.
Proportional valve not working
When you want to stop the golf cart, an equal amount of pressure is needed to stop all the four wheels. But to stop the golf cart, you need to put more pressure on the front brakes, and that’s why the rear wheels are locking up.
Bad proportional valve
The right proportional valve regulates the amount of pressure applied to the front and rear brakes. By this, you can minimize the rear wheels locking up.
Low-pressure fluid
When you have the bad proportional valve, then the EZGO golf cart won’t offer the same amount of fluid for all the four tires. So, check the fluid levels and bleeder screws of all the four brakes.
Defective breaks
Check the EZGO golf cart breaks, and if it has voltage, then the break is defective. Sometimes I also try neutral and the tow switch to unlock the wheels for a short distance.
