replaced controller still no go.
I have a 2002 ezgo pds txt and after hours of trying to trace down the problem I cam to conclusion that it had to be the controller after reading post that I found on here. well I went and bought a controller and now it is still doing the same thing. and yes I had the positive batter undone and the tow run switch on tow when I installed the controller. now I am stuck and have no clue where to go from here.
now when the pedal is pressed there is absolutely nothing going on. no click from solenoid and no go from cart. I have tried to jump the green and red wire from the pedal box to make the solenoid come on and that did not help either. now with that being said I left the two jumed while I took voltage reading and the solenoid clicked then dropped back out. and would do this a couple of time till nothing again. I have replaced the tow run switch everything. I also have voltage aross all the top set of wire except for the orange wire witch is the reverse wire. I have no clue where to go from here. any and all help would be great. |

Spray cleaner might work, but you'll probably have to use a toothpick if they are badly corroded. Check/Clean the other plugs while you are at it. |

Re: replaced controller still no go.
thanks johnnie I thought the same thing so I did clean them and try again. one more thing I forgot to mention is that the j1 4,5 pin have positive voltage on the and all the rest of negative voltage on them. not sure how that can happen.
tested by taking the red end on the volt meter and pushing in the back on the plugs with the black end on the last battery in the pack ( negative ) then when i only got two readings i put the black end to the back of the plugs and the red to the start of the pack (positive.) |

Re: replaced controller still no go.
Sounds like you are using an analog voltmeter.
Just to be sure since you said the "top" row of pins, are you sure of the Pin numbers you are measuring voltage on? When installed, the top row of pins on J1 is 10 thru 6 (L to R). Check out the pin numbering on the attached schematic. With Run/Tow in RUN, Keyswitch ON, F/R in F and pedal switch closed or jumpered, you should have positive pack voltage on ever pin on every plug that has a wire highlighted in red connected to it. |

Re: replaced controller still no go.
ok don't know what i as doing before but i get positive reading on all of the wires that you have highlighted in red. i also have positive voltage on the blue wire going to the solenoid.

Disconnect the diode on the small terminals and re test, is the (+) on the blue wire gone? if yes the cart may run now. Diode was reversed. Of course that's just a guess |

Try pushing cart while Run/Tow is in Run. That will trigger the "walkaway" safety and the solenoid should close and the beeper should beep rapidly. Also, disconnect the blue and yellow wires from solenoid and jumper B+ to one small terminal and B- to the other one to make sure solenoid will click. |

Re: replaced controller still no go.
ok so here is the latest when I disconnect the blue wire the positive voltage goes away. and once I connect the blue wire again the positive voltage comes
back. also I cleaned the connection on the j1 pin 6 both male and female end plunged back in still same thing. I then disconnected the yellow and blue wire and jumped like said, the solenoid would click and would stay engaged until I removed on of the wires. I could make the solenoid engage as much as I wanted. as for the pushing of the cart when I pushed the cart nothing happened no beeps nothing. now my speed sensor broke a long time ago but never made the cart stop working, it was like that for about a year maybe year and a half and the cart still worked. don't know if that would be a reason why the cart would not beep when pushed or not. |

Re: replaced controller still no go.
Was the diode on the solenoid for all tests? If you put blue and yellow wires back on the solenoid without the diode is the (+) still present at pin 6 ? If no, the diode could be bad

Re: replaced controller still no go.
yeah sorry I should have put that up there was no diode on the solenoid when I did the test.
