Solenoid no control power
Friend has an EZGO cart that stopped and will no longer operate.
I beleive this to be a PDS model based on chart found in sticky. Manufacture Code E1297, S/N 1018378. Curtis PMC controller P/N 73326G05. The foot pedal micro switch has continuity but no voltage to switch, no voltage to yellow control wire on solenoid, 38.4 volts across battery pack and 37.8 volts to B+ on controller. Thinking controller could have failed, any cheaper options possible? |

Re: Solenoid no control power
serial no indicates TXT standard (series). Not PDS. https://shop.ezgo.com/customer-servi...ialNumber.html

Re: Solenoid no control power
Scotty I used this sticky to come up with PDS. The plate with S/N is attached to a new carbon fiber dash, it has a solar panel roof and has had some modifications but still has the r/t switch and rocker style direction switch.
Key switch has continuity, foot pedal switch has continuity when activated but no voltage present. Does the power come from the controller? |

Re: Solenoid no control power
The controller part number is for a PDS controller and you mentioned it has a Run/Tow switch as well a a rocker switch type F/R selector, so it sounds like a PDS cart with a body from a series cart.
The power to all switches, except the reed switch, comes from the controller. You are not getting voltage on the yellow wire to the solenoid, so check for full pack voltage on all the pins with red highlighted wires connected to them on the attached schematic. Note: Voltage for the switches comes into the controller via J1 Pins 4 & 5, and pass through Run/Tow switch via J3. |

That looks like a logical first step to check as the voltage is good on the solenoid post and battery pack. |

The voltage for J1 Pin-5 comes from the battery side large terminal on the solenoid. If the reed switch is bad, bypass it as shown in attached picture. |

Jumped power from pack to solenoid control terminals and solenoid works when + & - connect to power source. Is it possible to have the controller rebuilt or get an exchange if the controller is determined to be the problem? |

Re: Solenoid no control power
Plug the connector from the Run/Tow switch into J3 and measure the voltage by pushing your test probe into the backside of the molex plug.
With the Run/Tow in Run, you ought to have pack voltage to the keyswitch. If so, with the key ON, you should have pack voltage to the F/R switch and pedal switch. ---------- Rebuilt controllers don't have good track records, but they are available. |

Any other possibilities besides controller? Would you recommend using a used controller someone might have removed for upgrade or is a new replacement the best option? |
