Solenoid

DoubleEgan

I bought a new Solenoid last year and cart did not work after winter
so I bypassed Solenoid and wheels turned so guessing I need another
problem is the cart is up for sale don't want to spend 85-90 on another
can you go with Solenoid if has the same amount of post

an ezgo is only 18.99
so if
36V 200A Solenoid it should work correct

Is the power present at the small solenoid terminals when pedal pressed? I bet its not. Solenoids dont fail due to setting over the winter. If you wanna waste some dough buying parts without diagnosing first, go ahead and order that puny ezgo solenoid.

when the gas is pressed nothing at small post
gas pressed the large post have 36/37 and when not pressed not positive but thinking that
I tested the motor and it works perfect
I pressed gas while bypassing solenoid and tires turned if not bypassing the solenoid wheels do nothing
so I been trying other things I checked wires / sanding connections / checked motor
solenoid was not my first option because just bought it last year and crazy if it is that
the solenoid is not clicking also

No power at small terminal says solenoid is not your current problem, as it is not being told to turn on by the cart. What model cart?

Find and fix the problem on the small terminal side. Could be the micro-switch on the pedal. If the cart works with the solenoid bypassed, then the problem is not a difficult one to solve. Do NOT leave the solenoid bypassed. It is a major safety feature.

1. tested the micro switch a little button under the peddle
2. when peddle is pressed the meter makes a noise
3. when peddle is not pressed no noise
4. tested wire red white from micro to the sel and it beep
5. tested tan wire from micro to the rev/forward switch that beeped
6. fuse good near buzzer
7. tested wire going to the buzzer its good
8. tested wire coming form battery to sel and cleaned
9. checked cable engine to switch rev /forward

what would the nxt step be

thanks

Next step would be to clue us in on what model the cart is.

Ok, with key on, check for 36v at pedal switch. If good, follow path you already checked, but check for 36v +. If no good, check for 36v at key switch, check both sides of switch at plug (meter probe at pack B+ while checking small black wire, meter probe at pack B- when check small red wire, do test and press pedal during test with key on to see if power "goes away"), check other fuse in area of "already checked fuse", there is a fuse for B+ & B- circuits on cart. Put cart on jack, so it dont run away if it decides to work.

The small post are getting 36v does not appear getting ground
Power from peddle to buzzer
Power to key switch and peddle
We're is the ground?
