glowing resistor
hello everyone. i bought 2 1981 club cars and made 1. very slow but i hear all the solenoids clicking. when i go up a hill with pedal on floor the large part of the coil on the passenger side gets glowing red about 2 inches long. is this normal? thanks pics are coming

Re: glowing resistor
the resistor coils are supposed to disapate heat while at slow speeds and glowing red is normal so it may be nothing to worry about....................................

Re: glowing resistor
...but at full throtle, shouldn't the last coil be bypassed and get full battery voltage straight thru to the motor, bypassing all the coils ?? Thats how my VGlide with 5 resistors and 1 solenoid is wired.
just trying to help  |

Re: glowing resistor
this is a 5 solenoid system. is that still correct?

Re: glowing resistor
I with OX on this.... maybe WOT is not working and he is stuck in whatever speed that last resistor coil is .... Because if the peddle is to the floor then no coil should be wasting amps ( glowing red)

Re: glowing resistor
The solenoid closest to the driver side is the master it clicks first.... the solenoid furthest from the driver side is WOT. Notice 5 solenoids ..... 1 master.....3 resistor coils.... one solenoid connects direct to the motor. NO?
Did you find the diagrams in the stickies? |

Re: glowing resistor
well hes saying while going uphill which even thought might be WOT its still working like heck and not getting full speed thats what i,m thinking.....now on flatland i agree should just bypass it but going uphill is a little different.......just tossing it out there because if there was a problem it should aldso show up on flatland right? thats why it takes all of us great minds here.....................................lol...... ..........your furthest right resistor coil is the one........are you sure all coils are clean and tight and not touching each other anywhere?......................................... .....

Re: glowing resistor
thanks for all the help. i replaced the wot solenoid today with a used one. now it is perfect. the solenoid was clicking but not as loud as the other ones. this site has loads of help. thanks again and pics are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
