Default No Power

I have a 2000 Club Car DS 48 volt, bought it used as is. It has a power problem and barely goes on a flat plane, uphill it stops dead. I put new batteries in and did some troubleshooting on solenoid, but not sure where to go next. There is a second solenoid with a "resistor" on it that glows orange within about 30 seconds after I try to drive it. Any help on where I might go next to troubleshoot would be greatly appreciated.

The solenoid with the resistor Coil is not working. Hook both large cable on same side of that solenoid and you should have full speed.

That's sounds easy enough to try, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks mrgolf. That did it. Runs like crazy and right up hills with plenty of power.

You should also unplug the speed sensor 3-pin connector from the motor or you will have a very strong motor brake effect.

That solenoid could be good and the activation circurit not be working. You might want to check out that part.

I would start with solenoid that glows! Lol. There is obviously high resistance within the solenoid that indicated damage. Replace and go from there.

OP said the RESISTOR glows, not the solenoid. Reading is fundamental. Follow mrgolf and Sergio.
