honcho · 01-29-2016, 09:54 PM

Ok guys and gals, I have a big problem and don't know what to do next. Here is the low down,my cart is dead,yea my batteries are good as I have a gauge on dash. So I replaced ignition switch,bingo ran for a 45 minute cruise,came home,turned it off and has been dead since
1) replaced F/R switch
2)replaced throttle sensor
3)new micro switch will be in tomorrow but don't see it being the problem
4) bypassed reed switch
5)checked wires going from ignition switch to controller-good
6) checked wires from F/R switch to controller-good
7)checked wires from controller to motor-good
Thanks for any advice in advance, I have a car lift at my house so I can do whatever to it with no problem. Oh yea, its a 2001 txt standard (pds) 36 v
I friggin hate electrical problems,thanks again Todd

The microswitch in throttle box, under floor mat...jump the two wires together. From there I would test solenoid then controller.....

OKAY - That means the trouble is in the solenoid activation circuit.
Put voltmeter test leads on the solenoid small terminals and press the gas. There should be 36v between the 3 small sol. terminals. If no, then no solenoid click or go. See if you are missing the + (yellow) side or the - black side.

Report back.

Ok got all of that until you said if I was missing yellow side or black side,of what?

honcho · 01-29-2016, 11:12 PM

Also only have 2 small terminals on solenoid

he meant 2 small terminals
solenoid positive side is normally yellow
solenoid negative side is normally black
look to see if wires are there
back to scotty ... he is your best bet to get it running
