Need to know how to start a golf cart without a key? We\u2019ve all been there where we forgot or lost our keys to the golf cart. Fortunately, golf carts are a lot easier to start than a traditional car. Whether you have an E-Z-GO, Yamaha, Club Car, or any other type of golf cart, the process is very similar, and this article will walk you through it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The issue with having the right key can come up, especially if you bought a used golf cart<\/a> and didn’t get a second set of keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully, this first section will cover your problems, but for the most part, they won\u2019t work if there aren\u2019t other golf carts or golf cart owners around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we get into screwdriver keys and hot wiring, let\u2019s talk about some other, easier methods. These will generally go better in a community where golf carts are abundant, or you have some time on your hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be noted that most of them are tailored to the idea that you haven\u2019t replaced your ignition switch<\/a> with a key specific one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe your friend is with you and they have a golf cart from the same brand. Whether it\u2019s E-Z-GO, Yamaha, or Club Car golf carts, as long as the brand is the same, the key is usually the same, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully, you can just use their golf cart key and not have to worry about it. This is also a fun way to pull a prank, but be responsible as it\u2019s still technically theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another hopeful scenario is that time is not a factor here and you can get a replacement key from a dealer or online store. This may be a good idea to do even if you manage to start your golf cart without your key. It will eventually become inconvenient having to figure a way to trick your golf cart into starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, if you\u2019re already going to have to wait for a key<\/a>, you might as well order a new, key specific ignition switch to make your golf cart more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\nReplacement Key Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
