need a controller

msoe guys · 07-04-2008, 10:26 AM

I am wondering if anyone has a used controller for a 1997 club car regen. that or does anyone know where to get a used controller at.

on another note i have this club car that i have charged the batteries and have good voltages on all batteries the lowest being 8.5 volts. When the gas pedal is pressed you can here the solenoid clicking. Does anyone think that it might not be the controller thats wrong

Have you checked the solenoid with a voltmeter to see if it is working when it clicks?

how? just checking conductivity through it also the cart has two soleniods

Just because it clicks doesn't always mean its good. Do you have a volt/ohm meter you can test with? Some people will jump the 2 larger terminals on the solenoid and if it moves it means the solenoid is bad.

yes i have a really nice fluke for measuring, i tried jumping the posts on both of them. one of them did nothing and the other just through off a big spark.

Ok....one at a time now so we don't get confused as to which one we are talking about.

Lets start with the second one you mention. What year is it?

Are both solenoids working? They both have to work.

msoe guys · 07-04-2008, 11:15 AM

i don't know if both are working the company we got it from said the controller was bad so i assume they both work
