Identifying the correct parts for your Club Car golf cart is crucial for maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. Luckily, Club Car makes it easy to pinpoint exactly what you need by using a unique identifier: the serial number. This guide will walk you through locating and utilizing your Club Car serial number to find the precise parts you require, ensuring compatibility and performance.
Locating Your Club Car Serial Number
The location of your Club Car serial number varies slightly depending on the model and year of manufacture. Here’s a breakdown of the common locations:
- Precedent (2004 & Up): Look inside or under the passenger side glove box. This is the most common location for newer models.
- DS (1981 & Up): Check directly under the passenger side glove box. You may need to crouch down to see it clearly.
- Pre-DS (1975-1980): For older, Pre-DS models, the serial number is typically found under the driver’s side seat on the frame itself.

Once you’ve located the serial number, write it down. It’s usually a series of letters and numbers, and this sequence is your key to unlocking specific information about your Club Car, including the correct parts.
Decoding Your Serial Number for Parts Identification
While the original article mentions using the serial number to determine the year and model, for parts identification, knowing the model is the most critical aspect derived from the serial number’s prefix.
- Model Identification: The first one or two letters of the serial number indicate the model of your Club Car. Refer to the comprehensive list provided below to identify your specific model based on these letters.
- Year of Manufacture: The first two numbers in the serial number generally represent the year your Club Car was manufactured. This can be helpful for determining the age of your cart and understanding potential parts compatibility changes over the years.
Example Breakdown:
- If your serial number starts with “A00…”: “A” indicates a DS Electric model, and “00” signifies the year 2000.
- If your serial number begins with “PG09…”: “PG” points to a Precedent model, and “09” denotes the year 2009.
By understanding these prefixes and number placements, you can effectively decode the serial number to understand your Club Car’s model and year, which are vital for accurate parts lookup.
Using Your Serial Number to Find the Right Parts
Now that you know how to locate and decode your serial number, here’s how to use it to find the correct Club Car parts:
- Consult the Model and Year: Identify your Club Car model and year from the serial number. This is your starting point for any parts search.
- Visit Reputable Parts Websites: Many online retailers specializing in golf cart parts allow you to search by model and year. Websites like [Car Part EU – hypothetical website for example], or major golf cart parts suppliers often have detailed parts catalogs searchable by Club Car model.
- Contact Authorized Dealers: Your local Club Car dealer is an excellent resource. Provide them with your serial number, and they can precisely identify your model and year and help you locate the exact parts you need from their official catalogs and systems.
- Utilize Online Parts Diagrams: Many websites offer exploded view diagrams of Club Car models. Knowing your model from the serial number allows you to navigate these diagrams to visually identify the part you need and find its corresponding part number.
- Reference Parts Manuals: If you have a parts manual for your Club Car (often available online in PDF format after identifying your model), it will be organized by model and year, making it easy to find part numbers once you know your cart’s specifics from the serial number.

Benefits of Using Your Serial Number for Parts Lookup:
- Ensure Compatibility: Using the serial number significantly reduces the risk of ordering incorrect parts. Different Club Car models and even year variations within the same model can have different parts requirements.
- Save Time and Money: Ordering the wrong parts leads to delays, return hassles, and potentially extra shipping costs. Serial number-based parts lookup helps you get it right the first time.
- Maintain Optimal Performance: Using correct, model-specific parts ensures your Club Car operates as intended and maintains its performance and reliability.
- Simplify the Process: Instead of guessing or making general assumptions about parts, the serial number provides a direct and efficient way to identify and order exactly what you need.
