Golf Cart Gone Wild


Occurred on January 11, 2021 / Mexico

Info from Licensor: I bought this cart non-running. It needed new batteries. I changed the batteries out and reached over the front to turn the light switch on to see if the lights worked, they didn't work. There was just a wire loose. I then proceeded to walk around and put the cart in reverse, to hear if the reverse buzzer worked. It did. I turned on the key and it took off! I then pushed it out a little, pondered the damage (extensive) then just wanted to tick it in forward and it took off again. I held on so it would hit the door on the other side and just missed it, plowing into the golf clubs and then the wall, leaving a pretty big hole...it turns out that the accelerator rod had rusted and stuck it in wide open!! Cart, door, and wall fixed in two days, but I'll say I won't work on any more carts inside!
