The differential lock is easy to adjust, but first make sure it is not internally stripped.

Make sure it is fully engaging, and if it is and still ratcheting, then the clutch locking dogs are shot. To inspect them the left axle housing has to be removed and the sliding clutch and left axle shaft has to be slid out of the housing. On the axle is the sliding engagement lock, and then the corresponding dogs are on the differential carrier itself. Generally, the sliding clutch assembly strips.

You can go to John Deere's website and pop up a diagram of the parts involved, and get an idea of what is involved.

The Kawasaki website also has parts diagrams, but under the Mule designation. The transaxle is built by Kawasaki.

As much as I hate to say it, most John Deere dealer repair facilities are not equipped with folks properly trained to deal with the electrical issues on the E-Gator.

Contact you local golf pro shop and ask for a reference to a good independent electric golf cart repair technician.

The controller is the problem, and it can generally be rebuilt or exchanged for around $400. Double that if you need someone else to take it out and reinstall the thing. A good 20 minute job for anyone with a few tools.

I doubt you paid too much. I have a friend that is in to the electric vehicle thing, and he says that the E-Gator is one of the best and will likely never wear out.
