1978 ezgo goes with key off???
Hello guys, I have a 1978 ezgo 36V 3 wheel and it was going anytime it was in gear: key on or off: F or R: without giving gas, I concluded the go pedal was stuck and managed to get that fixed, but it still goes even with the key in the off position. I did check switch and it was good, however I replaced it anyway just to be sure.....
Any ideas?? Thanx, Tony L. |

more than likely the solenoid is welded shut. Try gently tapping it with a hammer to see if it will "free" up. If not, you will have to replace the solenoid.
edit: It could also be a stuck micro so before you replace the solenoid, please check the micro as well. |

The F&R switch should include a small on/off micro switch for forward and reverse. One may be stuck 'on' ?
