solenoid is hot for no reason, just sitting
i replaced all my wires with #4 and the cart ran great for a couple of days, after sitting for a few days i took it for a spin and i could tell something was wrong, so i parked it and put it on charge and drove it and it ran fine so i thought it was fine. but today i came home and was checking around and touched the soleniod for some reason and it was hot, like it was stuck draining my batteries. can this happen? and if i replace the it does it need to be a heavy duty solenoid. i have a 1988 ezgo with a lift and 10" tires. thanks.

Re: solenoid is hot for no reason, just sitting
Was your key "ON"? And is your pedalbox micro switch operating correctly?

Re: solenoid is hot for no reason, just sitting
microswitch in the pedal box. it is what "starts" the electronics when you depress the pedal.
question - when you turn on the key, do you (or ever did) hear the solenoid click as you turned the key? |

Re: solenoid is hot for no reason, just sitting
OK - sounds like the micro is good. Now, what changed from the new wires from the old wires? Something must be crossed?

Re: solenoid is hot for no reason, just sitting
Was the cart on the charger when you came home, or had it been unplugged all day?

Re: solenoid is hot for no reason, just sitting
Unplugged all day and I went and checked something, where the key goes in, there are 2 prongs on the back of it and one of them is loose (i can wiggle it). does that matter?
