97 Club car wont go after shorting A1 with B-
I have a 97 CC DS 48v.
I was in the process of installing new wires and a F&R switch. While I was putting the wires on the motor I accidently hit A1 and B-(controller) with my wrench which resulted in a a nice little spark. Yes I know I should have diconnected the power...... I went ahead and got the rest of the wires in place and tried it.....Nothing. I noticed the Solenoid is not clicking. I found one blown fuse on the grey wire coming from the charger plug going to the OBC. Replaced it, still nothing. I have not replaced the solenoid or its wires yet. Wanted to try it out before doing more work. I guess I need to figure out why the solenoid isn't working...... Any ideas? |

You probably killed the controller.

Put the cart on stands and jump the 2 large posts on the solenoid. Its very possible you fried the controller. What controller do you have, I noticed in your SIG you have an upgraded motor

Re: 97 Club car wont go after shorting A1 with B-
Ok but how does that determine if the controller is bad? Which was what he was wanting to know. If it doesn't go that still doesn't mean his controller is bad. I have a similar problem with mine That I am trying to determine what is wrong. I do know my solenoid works as mine goes in reverse no matter where the F/R switch is (except neutral). |

Its obviously better to make sure the 40 dollar solenoid is working before moving onto the $300 controller...
He said the solenoid wasn't clicking. If you jump it and it works, then you have a bad solenoid. Sorry you're having trouble with your cart. Might wanna start your own thread to get it sorted out |

I have started my own thread on my problem, several days ago. Reading about others that might give me an answer. I see your point on checking out a $40 solenoid first.

Re: 97 Club car wont go after shorting A1 with B-
I jumped the solenoid, still nothing.
I should also note that charger is not responding when plugged into the cart. Also with the new F&R switch installed the reverse buzzer sounds in both forward and reverse. Does the charger also need the Controller along with the OBC to charge? Where can I find a clear drawing of what wire goes where, I did upgrade the cables to 2ga, maybe I mixed one up. I did the wire for wire method to not get confused while doing this. I feel like kicking myself for not unhooking the main batt cables before doing the work, but anyways here I am trying to figure this out. |
