Tks ....I did'nt know quite how the current ran! I'll check it out . Do you know if a micro switch can be bad even if it clicks?

U need a meter to see if its bad, when it clicks, it should close, sending voltage threw,

A easy way to test is to use a jumper wire and bypass one switch at a time, then u will see which one isnt closing, but a meter is alot easier if u can get one

stuff, you can pick up a decent volt/ohm meter at harbor freight or most auto parts store. this will help a lot. just so you know, there are no ground wires to the frame of an electric cart. good luck.

Ok here's the deal! I think i have it. I found a broken wire on one of the micro switches. I completely rewired it just like the diagram that scotty sent me( tks scotty) It was some different then mine! "Hope it works" I read were someone said that if you wire your cart ..do just like the diagram says...don't jump around! So thats what i did. I'll put my bats in soon and hope i'm good to go. I need to pay the piper before he cuts me off..ha... Tks again..stuff

Hey Scotty b...kennyh99..hope i havn't confussed or irratated anyone with my posts..It's been a circus for me! Last post on this thread! This is what i've came up with. I think i have a bad solenoid. As i said earlier i have 38.5v@ battery pack but i only have 33.4 at the solenoid in and out and at the f&r switch terminals. i jumped around the solenoid...no go. But...if i don't have enough voltage (36v) to trip i don't think from what i've read it will activate it. Is that right? Micros,wires,connections,ect are good. I've corrected a couple of things but still no go..i need help...tks stuff

sounds like one or two batteries are weak under load, press the pedal and check each battery under load, one at a time, they should all be the same voltage, youll find a couple very low i suspect.
