Resistor Coil glowing orange!
As I continue to work thru the 91' Marathon, noticed the resistor coil is glowing orange and smoking. Again, looked over the wiring diagrams and here is what I found our resistor coil pack looks like:
First bolt is totally missing and there is hole in plate. The 3rd bolt wasn't even hooked up and wire just laying there. I've reattached wire to the third bolt, but have no way to contact that first bolt. I'm no expert on these resistor cowls, but I'm gonna believe not having first one is draining the batteries quickly as well as creating the coil pack to glow orange. No? Plan is to pull resistor coil pack off cart and inspect, I'm gonna believe will need to buy 3 new coils? Where can you get wires from the resistor coils to contact board as well as to the electric motor? I've looked around but can't seem to locate. Trying to price all this out for the parts. Again, thanks for any advice or help. -Garry |

Re: Resistor Coil glowing orange!
Im my experience with resistor coil cars (my experience with these is mostly early yamaha, ezgo, and harley), usually caused by a main solenoid being welded in the on position, or a bent or broken microswitch that controlls the solenoid. I saw both of your posts, and this is likely the root of all your troubles. Dont forget to check the "activation circuit" solenoid and microswitch when replacing wiper & resistors.

Re: Resistor Coil glowing orange!
I would go with the whole set. Just replace them all and the wires. If you really wanted to make it right, you could swap the cart over to a solid state and get rid of it all.

Re: Resistor Coil glowing orange!
Hey, I understand working on a budget! Most everything I've done to my cart, I either made myself or found cheap/free. And Crash is right. Just use battery cables the correct length.
