I need a new cord part# 0306-01135 GEM4 2008. It is the cord that goes to the external outlet from the charger. The ground prong broke off. It still charges without the ground prong but I am afraid I am damaging the charger.
Unless your car gets hit by lightning, the missing ground plug should not be an issue. If you go down to your local ace hardware or Walmart you can purchase a replacement end for about 5 bucks and just install it on the existing cord. If installing it is an issue for you, I’m sure if you offer the guy at ace a few bucks, he will do it for you.
The prong inside the recessed/covered plug you stick extension cord into to charge rhe cart is not a showstopper, but its also not replaceable. That plug is from Marico. Its a shore power connection for a small boat. It has screw lugs under the rubber cover where the cord comes out.
The cord that goes from it to charger is an IEC 1831 female to stripped wire. Its a computer power cord without the wall plug end.
He said that the cord was the issue, not the receptical on the car… Or did I misread it? In any event, it’s an easy fix…
Correct I just need to know where to get a cord that will fit.
Kind Regards,

Well if you are intent on a new one, I would suggest your local gem car dealer. Mine was made by Chrysler, but I think your 08 might be a Polaris or… I’m not sure who owns it now. Hopefully one of the others will chime in and be more help… Good lick
I gave you answers for both parts. You figure it out
I Sent you a thank you. But it came back to me because thank you was to short. So thank you again.

I noted on my 09 car the housing and flap/door were separate from the plug/cord assembly. The plug was just a molded piece that looked much like this(pic/link below). A couple of screws came in from the housing and held the molded plug in place. I thought it was a bit crude, but I guess it worked.
I used keywords like “NEMA 5-15P to IEC320 hospital grade”
Note that you should get the 14ga(minimum. If you troll around a bit you might find the same sort of cord in 12ga (which would be better). It also comes in black, but if you order the clear molded plug, a truly resourceful cadet could figure out how to make it light up when plugged in and active.
As convenient as it may be for the average household, if you ask me (which nobody did), these things are a weak point in the charge system that could use an upgrade. The next step up would be to bail from the normal extension cord NEMA 5-15p thing. This cord/connection really should be a construction grade or marine twist lock 20/25A connectior.
