Default 96 DS 36 volt

As soon as solonoid clunks on. Wide open and away you go ! no speed control at all. System has not been tampered with just started on its own. Controller cart ( Not resister ) Can a controller just short and go full on ? Or should I look somewhere else?

It could be the throttle. Disconnect it and see if there is any change.

Just saying. I would jack the rear off the ground while figuring this out.

And something is telling the controller to go wide open so make sure you do not have an issue with your multi-step potentiometer. It may be sending that signal to the controller....

The issue is most likely with the Multi-Step potentiometer (VGlide).

For some unknown design reason (or lack of), those old and short lived 0-5kΩ throttle carts would default to full speed if there is a missing throttle signal.

If any resistor or wire is broken between the Controller terminals #2 and #3 and the VGlide, the Controller will go full speed when you press the pedal.

Put the FNR in Neutral.

Remove the black and white wires from Controller terminals #2 and #3.

Set your meter to 20kΩ resistance setting and measure the resistance between those 2 wires as you press the pedal.

The resistance should vary between 0 and about 5,500Ω as you press the pedal.

Please note that a reading of 0L on the meter means it is an open circuit (bad).

I was mistaken this is a 48 volt with a controller and no black vglide box. so its multi step potentiometer.

Do you have a photo of what you have? What is the serial number?
