Check the solenoid and is good, but no clicking when trying to engage.

Where should we go from here?

Thanks,

I would start with the accelerator. Under the floor mat there's a grey box. Inside you'll find the ITS (inductive throttle) and a microswitch. The microswitch is the first thing I'd check if there's no solenoid click.

I'm guessing you have a series, but please confirm:

The following is for a series:

Do you have a handheld VOM, DVM, or DMM and know how to use it? If so, place negative probe on pack negative and check the white wire coming from the charger port, attached to a red wire. This is the reed switch, and will prevent the solenoid from clicking. Using the attached, move from reed switch to MS2 (microswitch on back of FNR), to key switch, to MS3 (throttle microswitch).

If it's the reed switch, here's how to bypass:

Dumb question.....where does that red wire go to? My cart has the reed switch bypassed, but the other end of the red wire was cut and isn't hooked to anything.

Sir Nuke

it goes to the micro switch closer to the batteries on top of the F&R switch.....look at the drawing above that yurtle posted.

Thanks! Whoever had our cart before us cut that wire and ran it from the micro switch directly to the positive side of the first battery. Is that another form of bypassing the reed switch?
