86 club car runs with Key off

fireman1921

While riding the cart the cart will start bucking and then will take off with out pushing the gas. The selonids get extreamly hot just before bucking starts


Have replaced the all the selonids, f/r switch. Wires have melted from the head and the Batteries are getting extreamly hot.


Any help or thoughts would be greatful

Does anyone have a wireing diagram for the Forward/reverse switch?

crash test dummy

no problem

first jack up rear of cart when working on it
if you have replaced the selonids then check the micro switches
and all wiring

explain where the wires melted ,,,where are batteries getting hot ... all over or just the posts

your diagram

A faulty ground will attribute to the problem you are having .If not grounded properly the system will overcharge thus the heat .

The wires were hot and melting at the motor connections and at the F/R switch. The terminal where the ground is connected to teh batter got so hot that it came out of the battery

Excellent find CTD
I sent the following message to MODs:
This 5 solenoid diagram should replace what we have in the stickies. It is easier to read and detail is better. Diagram for 1983-1987 CC

What is the best way to check the micro switch?


I'm also not sure if hte F/R switch is wired correct cause it is backwards. I'm following up on somone elses work.
