New member here with a electrical prob

I am working on a buddies club car, it’s a 99 model, the solenoid will not engage to power the wheels so far here’s what I checked

8 new batts and have 48 volts
Have power going in the pedal micro switch and power coming out 48v
Have that pedal power going into big solver box but not to the small solenoid wire to activate it

Any ideas
Thanks much

BGW

There are two (2) small posts that are on the main solenoid; they need 48v + & - to close in the solenoid. Get your DVM and check these 2 wires and see if you are missing one or the other. You will need the key on, in Fwd, Go Pedal depressed, and the back wheels jacked up (for safety). Report back which you are missing (+ or -) if you don't have both.

Today I checked both small posts, lead in each and I had nothing, I then put my ground on the first battery drivers side negative and still no power on either small post, I didn’t put my positive meter lead on 48 volt + and check for a ground tho, the cart is at his house and I won’t be back to it till tomm, but I do have 48v on one side of the large solenoid post and the 48. Off the pedal going to big silver box

Did you have the key on, if Fwd and Go Pedal down?

The 48v positive on that side of the solenoid is correct and comes from the pack's main positive. You need to determine what you are missing for the 2 small posts.

Yes, key was on, switch was in forward but tried reverse also, and it was in run and not tow mode, I traced the go pedal wiring from switch to the box

Read up on this thread http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...eshooting.html just to catch up to some things you may be needing to check, too.

The green white wire from the potentiometer is the one I traced back to the box

Let me add that I checked the tow run switch and it had 48v on one wire and none on the other no matter switch position, I jumpered it over and still nothing
