Good afternoon everyone!
I've encountered a problem with my Motocaddy S3 for which I cannot find an answer online for... It was all working as it should at the end of one round, and then at the start of the next, it just wouldn't work.
I connect the battery, screen comes on as it should and shows speed setting/battery level/etc. I press the button to start and I hear a click and a very faint hum/buzz sound but don't get any drive - noise continues until I press the button again where I get another click and the noise stops. I've looked at the control box underneath to see if the LED's give me any ideas as per the manual/other posts online however no LED's light up at all, before during or after this testing I've done.
Does this just sound like a loose battery connection to the control box (I've not unplugged the wire connections under the trolley yet to check), or does it sound like the control box itself has broken?
Thanks in advance for your help and expertise!!

Sounds to me like motor brushes.

Quick simple test would be to test the battery and trolley with one at the club

Suspect the battery connection as they are prone to going
 
Cheers both, will check the motor with an external power source at the weekend to see if it works alone without any other interference which would direct me to if the brushes were finished. And will try to find someone else's trolley to test my battery out on (and vice versa), albeit I would've thought the screen wouldn't light if it was a battery problem?
