83 Club car won't move
I have an 83 DS club car with 5 solenoid setup. I can't get it to move in forward or reverse. If yo have it either forward or reverse you can hear all five solenoids click. Any advise??

Re: 83 Club car won't move
Something to remember...clicking does not always mean working, also check for burnt or melted spots on your forward/reverse switch where your contacts are...these are a common problem to check for...

Re: 83 Club car won't move
I tried to jump first solenoid wouldn't do anything, but I jumped the #5 and the motor runs. Would that mean the others would be bad? All of the micro switches look good.

Re: 83 Club car won't move
Sorry I jumped the first solenoid ( closes to the drivers side), but the others do nothing.

Re: 83 Club car won't move
The first solenoid is the one that activates the rest in the series(closest to drivers side)...if you jumped it and motor runs...thats def a good start to replace.

Re: 83 Club car won't move
If the first works by jumping it, would it be just the first solenoid being bad? Micro switches?

Re: 83 Club car won't move
if the cart runs with just the first solenoid jumped...it means that one is bad...it is still possible that others are bad as well...if you heard all the solenoids at least clicking, then the micro switches are functioning properly.

We swapped out the first solenoid with the second solenoid and it runs without having the key on at full speed.

Got it to stop. The solenoid was stuck, hit with a hammer and then it worked. Still have to change the solenoids.
