Why Does My Golf Cart Fuse Gets Blown Often? 

If you have a new fuse in your golf cart and it’s also blown after a few weeks of use, this means the issue is somewhere else. 

To help you troubleshoot easily, here are the most common reasons to get a blown fuse too often. 

Bad Cable Management in Battery Terminal

The cables can be connected to the components and the battery in the wrong manner. Due to this, the fuse might be forced to ground the connection every once in a while. 

Another thing that can happen is there might be a naked wire in the bundle of wiring that’s causing a shortage occasionally. 

Loose Wiring

If the wires aren’t connected properly, the loose end or improper connection might hamper the regular behavior of the components, which finally leads to blown fuses. 

Short Circuit

There are short or grounded wires inside the system of your car. The grounding or shortage can be because of the previous bad fuses in the past. 

Wrong Fuse Amp

There’s a high chance that the fuse you’re using has a lower Amp rate than required. And that’s why every time you use the same old type of fuse, it gets blown in heavy power usage. 

Bad Voltage Regulator

When the primary voltage regulator of the car system isn’t up to the mark, overflow of the power becomes common, and several blown fuses can be seen at a time.
