Default Solenoid clicks, won't run.

My 5 or 6 year old gas three seat club car solenoid clicks but the cart will not go. If I connect the big poles of the solenoid with a screwdriver the engine starts, accelerates and runs properly. Is this a solenoid problem, repaired by replacing the solenoid or is it something else?

Maybe. If you can verify solenoid is getting the activation signal and not working then yes. If you have an activation circuit ( micro switch) failure a new solenoid will not cure the problem.

He states the "solenoid clicks" Scotty, unless he is hearing the micro switch and confusing it I'd have to assume that it's activating but not passing voltage across the main terminals from that description. Seen it many times.

OK so here is the story.
a solenoid Clicking (fairly distinct heavy sound)
micro switch clicking ( not nearly as heavy and must really listen to hear it ).

Normally when the small wires send the activation signal to the solenoid it closes
allowing the other circuits to get power, from the battery , to starter generator.

Put the cart in Maint mode , check the Voltage going across the micro switch to the solenoid . U could save a few $$ if it is micro as opposed to solenoid.

Just saying ......
