Second Speed Resistor 7 Gauge for Club Car
This Second Speed Resistor 7 Gauge for Club Car Electric Golf Cart controls the intermediate speed range in the motor circuit, reducing voltage to manage acceleration. It replaces OEM cross-reference numbers 8979, N2665, and RS12665, restoring proper throttle response. This resistor is intended for electric Club Car golf carts that use a resistor-based speed control system.
Overview
This Second Speed Resistor 7 Gauge is a coiled wire resistor that limits current flow to the motor during the second speed step, providing a smooth transition from low to full speed. It is designed for Club Car electric golf carts, functioning as a critical component in the speed control circuit. This 7-gauge resistor is built to handle the electrical load of daily cart operation.

Good To Know
Q: How does the second speed resistor affect my cart's performance? A: It limits current to the motor during the second speed step, preventing harsh jerks and prolonging the life of the motor and controller. A worn resistor can cause sudden speed surges or a lack of intermediate power.
Q: Is this resistor a direct replacement for my original? A: Yes, it matches the OEM cross-reference numbers 8979, N2665, and RS12665, making it a direct replacement. Confirm your cart's serial number to ensure compatibility with your specific model year.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
