1986 club car wont move new to forum

1986 club car 36v wont move the resistors click but the cart wont move. Tryed to added to extra batteries to the cart to make it 48 volt and now it wont move. Any responses would be great.

I would check the solenoid first, if you added batteries to make it 48v and had a 36v solenoid you may have burned up the solenoid.

....Or the micros ? No telling what gave.... just grab a wiring diagram from the stickies at the top of this section and start tracing out all of the circuits.

There wasnt any sparks or noise. Is that the first one on the drivers side

[scottyb]

You put 48v in a 5 solenoid cart

The solenoid closest to the drivers side is the master .... all the rest are speeds .... each one has a micro in the silver box under the drivers seat. Please try to learn the difference between a solenoid and a microswitch, Use google?

Yes i Did. The cart never moved though. I read on other forums in here where you could as long as you where full pressing the pedal. Now the cart dosent move. From what I have read about it and just tested it that the master solenoid is bad.

Ahh, the joys of modding a cart.
"I wonder what will happen if I....."
When contemplating these upgrades, you might need more information before you just do something without the full understanding of what might happen.
I'm guessing that if the cart ran before, you over-voltaged something like a solenoid coil, the throttle assembly or burned a connection somewhere.

Find your wiring diagram and get the digital meter out.
Post up what you've done and checked and we may be able to help you out. There's lots of cart experienced guys here to assist your troubleshooting.

Some people say you can over volt the old systems but they fail sooner or later...... I have done it, it was fun but then it melted
