2004 EZGO 36v TXT Series - Intermittent Stop and Go
Long time reader, first time poster.
Alltrax AXE 4844 - 200A Solenoid - Scotty B. 2 ga. cables and SW202 Reversing Contactor - 22x11-10 tires on Evader aluminum wheels - SoC DVM - Stock Curtis 2.0 hp motor I have had intermittent stop and go issues with this cart for a couple of years, and have not been able to solve the issue. When cart is misbehaving, solenoid clicks when pedal is pushed and I have pack voltage (38.4v) at B- and B+. Pack voltage at B- to solenoids small terminal with banded diode end. With cart on jack stands, B- to M- reads full battery pack voltage when solenoid is activated. B- to M- goes to near zero volts when pedal to floor. When cart misbehaves, B- to M- reads full battery pack voltage when solenoid is activated. B- to M- stays at full pack voltage when pedal to floor. Pin #2 and Pin #3 at controller, 8.8v at solenoid click. 5.4v with pedal to floor. Pin #2 to Pin #3 at controller, wires disconnected, 13.7v at solenoid click. 13.7 v with pedal to floor. Wires disconnected from ITS, 13.7v at solenoid click. I have replaced my HD F&R switch and ITS. Eliminated Molex plug in favor of soldered and shrink wrapped connections (with dielectric grease). Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for reading this long thread. |

Re: 2004 EZGO 36v TXT Series - Intermittent Stop and Go
There's no need for any connectors where the Molex was eliminated. This was simply a manufacturing/fabrication thing. It serves no purpose, other than another point of possible failure. I wouldn't hold my breath about that being your problem, but it's easy to eliminate.
Solenoid clicking but no go can only be a problem in the ITS circuit as far as wires. Beyond that, it's cables. You replaced the FNR, which is the next place I'd look. A bad ITS circuit could explain B- to M- readings when it's misbehaving. I'm thinking an intermittent solenoid might, but wait for confirmation. If you wanna check something fast and can't wait, when it misbehaves, try same B- to M- reading with no resister. |

Roger that Yurtle, thanks.
What does eliminating the resistor do regarding the B- to M- reading? Have not checked the solenoid in some time, may do that. Have already eliminated the molex connector. |

Re: 2004 EZGO 36v TXT Series - Intermittent Stop and Go
You replaced the Molex with other connectors, if I read you correctly. Those connectors serve no purpose.
I've never had to do troubleshooting anything on my stock, AXE4855, or my SR48500. Just glancing, I can see a path around the solenoid, if it fails to close, through the resister. I'd have to spend more time studying it, and don't really have time tonight. Have you gone through the http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...e-testing.html yet? It will only help you when it's not working though. Finally, does your AXE throw any codes? LED blink codes? For ITS throttle, you'll get four green flashes, then solid green with throttle pressed to click solenoid. As you press throttle further, do you get a code? |

Re: 2004 EZGO 36v TXT Series - Intermittent Stop and Go
I misspoke; when I removed the molex connection, I soldered the wires together and used heat shrink tubing - not added connectors. I also miswrote; it is not a Curtis motor but Advanced D.C. Motors.
I did go through the throttle testing some time ago, prior to replacing the throttle sensor when it looked like that might be the problem. The AXE gives me the proper codes; 4 green blinks and solid green when pedal pushed (probably getting time to upgrade controller-its a 2011). The solenoid is food for thought. Can I jumper that with just a 14 ga lead? Thanks, I'll check back tomorrow. |

2. This tells me the high current cables, connections and contacts are okay and either the throttle or controller isn't working. 3. Should be 10V at solenoid click and 6V with pedal on floor. Do you get same voltages when cart is working normally? 4. Not sure what this should be. Contact Alltrax. Since you've already replaced the ITS sensor and eliminated the in-line connector, it's not looking too good for the controller. |

Are you getting the 4-blinks and solid green while cart is misbehaving? |

Just thought about one more thing that can cause a no go. The red power wire to the controller could be bad. It goes from the solenoid to controller pin 1. |
