36 volt solenoid ???

There are five solenoids on the cart and three resistors. There are five microswitches attached to a stepped ramp that are engaged in series as you push the throttle. As you look at the solenoids from driver to passenger side they are solenoids 1-5, 1 is the master.

Microswitch 1 engages solenoid 1 as soon as the pedal is pressed, this nets no movement.

Switch two engages solenoid 2 which is "first gear" and has current flowing through 3 resistors.

Switch 3 engages solenoid 3 which is "second gear" and current flows through 2 resistors.

Switch 4 engages solenoid 4 which is "third gear" and current flows through 1 resistor.

Switch 5 engages solenoid 5 which is "fourth gear" and current flows straight from the batteries to the motor.
