To check continuity of the AC cord (Figure 23-32):
1. Disconnect the black wire (1) of the AC cord from the charger AC circuit breaker (3).
2. Disconnect the green wire (2) from the charger case and position it so that it does not touch any metal
part of the charger.
3. Using a continuity tester (Club Car Part No. 1011273), put alligator clip on the end of the black wire and
check for continuity on both flat prongs and on the ground prong of the AC plug (Figure 23-32). Conti-
nuity should be shown on only one flat prong. If it is shown on more than one prong, or on no prongs,
the AC cord and plug must be replaced.

ground prong of the AC plug. Continuity should be shown on only the ground prong. If continuity is
shown on either of the flat prongs, or is not shown on the ground prong, the AC cord and plug must be
replaced.
5. Disconnect the white wire (5) from the tan wire (4). Put alligator clip on the white wire and check for
continuity on both flat prongs and on the ground prong of the AC plug (Figure 23-32). Continuity should
be shown on one flat prong. If it is shown on more than one prong, or on no prongs, the AC cord and
plug must be replaced.
