Ok, I have a friend who said he could hook up a toggle switch on my cart... I have been having a problem with members / friends using my cart at our local course.. I wanted it to be a kill switch... Well he killed it alright... :) when he hooked up the switch!!! all He-- broke loose!!! the smoke rolled out and I am now trying to figure out what he Killed... Ha!!! the cart does have 38v to the state of charge meter. and each battery has 6.4 volts on them. when i push the gas ped. the cart shutters and act like it wants to go in reverse even tho. it is in forward. I jacked it up and the wheels went in reverse while the F/W was in the forward position.. does anybody know if he toasted the controller or the ITS??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

BTW the solenoid is clicking when the gas ped is being pushed... Thanks!!!

It sounds like he smoked the speed control but, it would help greatly if you post a pic or tell us which wires he connected with the switch

the toggle switch had three connection on the back of it.. he said on was for the power in the middle one was for the ground and the other was out. he hooke the hot to one the ground to the middle one and then ran a jumper to the power out... i can post pics. however everything looks good. thanks for the speedy response..

i think i will put in a universal switch and do away with the toggle switch once i fix this... what does a speed controller run? 350.00 to 400.00?

Does the solenoid click when you try to go?

What I meant was which wire did he try to switch?

subby44 · 06-14-2011, 11:14 PM

yes the solenoid does click when i try to go.. he did not try to switch any wires...he ran them from the the toggle straight to the hot wire before the switch!!!

is there any way to bypass the speed control to see if it is cooked?
