No go... again

healy61 · 10-07-2015, 07:24 PM

Hey guys with a lot of help on here I totally rebuilt my 85 Club Car about a year ago, its been running perfect until... the pos. term. on the f/r switch came loose and cooked the wires on that post.. pos. to the bat., pos. to the fuse(did not trip fuse) and pos. to the speed controller. I repaired all wires, but no go.
Question is did I fry the speed controller or f/r switch, all the selniods are clicking but the first one not as loud.

1st solenoid not loud is not a problem ... it supply's power to the other solenoids
all solenoids clicking is good, means the speed box is not fried
i would look in to the f/r switch not making good contact
if it is shot you can get an updated one from scottyb, they dont sell the old style anymore

Thanks Crash, but tighten up all the contacts

I found the old f/r switch and cleaned it up, I'll switch it out hopefully tomorrow, rechecked all the connections and there all tight.

okay I switched out the f/r switch and still nothing. I don't know what to check next, little help please.

re check all wires ... give them a wiggle and tug

Been having some back issues didn't get out to the shed until today. I tugged wiggled and jiggled all the wires nothing. Checked the voltage as follows; battery bank 37.4; pos. term. on f/r 37.4; at the fuse 37.4; white wire on f/r 37.4 in forward; black wire on f/r 0.2 in forward; red wire on f/r switch to motor 0.2 in forward. sure hope your not going to tell me its the motor.
