Default Re: EZ GO Electric Cart Clicks but NO movement Forward or Reverse!!

You've got a 2004 TXT cart with a series wound motor, or a 04-TXT-Series written in shorthand.
You can download the Owner, Service and Parts manuals from the stickies at the top of the Electric EZGO forum.
They are the three .pdf files in this sticky. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...g-manuals.html

Get a DMM (Digital Multi Meter), if you don't have one. An inexpensive one in a blister package at your local auto parts or discount store will suffice.


It was working, but now it isn't.

You said the solenoid clicks when you push the throttle pedal, so the problem is in the High Current circuit.

You mentioned something about a switch under a flap that turns it on and off. That doesn't sound anything that I know of, so it might be something added to confuse thieves. A picture would help figure that one out.

What is the battery pack voltage? (Should be 38.2 for fully charged batteries)
What are the individual battery voltages? (Should be 6.37V at full charge and spread between highest and lowest should be 0.1V or less)

Take the environmental cover off the controller and attach your DVM to the terminals on the controller marked B- and M-.
You should measure full battery pack voltage when solenoid first clicks.
If not, you've got a bad cable, or connection, or contact someplace between M- and the Positive terminal on the Right-Front battery.
Here's a schematic with the High Current circuit traced.

Note: With a series wound motor, there is a single current path through everything, including the battery pack.
