Re: Install Speedcontroller and Solenoid
Here's an important tip: Respect that battery pack at all times. It has LOADS of potential to surprise you with a careless wrench or loose cable.
Install the new solenoid FIRST and test the cart. Make sure it runs with the new solenoid BEFORE you switch out the controller. I know this takes more time, but you'll thank me later. Besides, it builds your confidence that you know what you are doing. Good luck, yell if you have questions. |

Take some photos of your existing controller wiring close up ....
so if you make mistakes you have reference points to back track to |

Re: Install Speedcontroller and Solenoid
the 4 point plug is not used on the new controller....
it is used on the origional controller to program connecting to the plug under the dash board or under the f/r switch depending where yours is located... you can used this existing harness now for other things like radio or converters etc..you have 4 isolated wires to play with |

Re: Install Speedcontroller and Solenoid
FORBRUCE:
It looks like we have the same cart...can you send me a photo of how you installed your controller? I just installed mine and it will only go a few feet forward and a few feet backward...???? I got the solenoid that scotty at carts unlimited sent with it and it already had the jumper installed so what do I do with the original 2 wires?? Any help you can give would be great...you could even call me at 919-625-8921....very frustrated, Kyle |

Did you install the new solenoid first followed by a test run as instructed? |
