2001 ezgo will not start has no solenoid click
My 2001 gas operated ezgo is having a issue that I cannot figure out. When you push the pedal it literally does nothing. I have 12.5 volts DC for the battery to the top side of one terminal on the solenoid. When you press the pedal the voltage goes away. However, I don’t have voltage on the bottom positive side of the solenoid the energize the coil. That specific terminal has a blue wire from the key switch and a red and a orange and white from the ignitor. I have replace both the solenoid and ignitor. I also had continuity through the key switch, foot pedal, and gear selector switch. I am completely at a loss as to what to do. Also I have tested the starter generator it is good as well as made sure the fuse was good. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 2001 ezgo will not start has no solenoid click
I'm having somewhat of the same issue. When pressing the pedal, the start/generator will not turn over. Here is what I've tested so far....
The battery is brand new. We tested the voltage to the starter/generator first. When I pressed the pedal, we would get 12v at the terminal on the starter generator. So I assumed the SG was bad and bought a brand new one. Hooked it all up and have the same issue. Won't turn over when you press the pedal even though we are getting 12v to the SG. My Father is a small engine repair mech and this has him stumped. |

To test the solenoid, disconnect the orange wire and jumper 12v straight from the positive battery terminal to the small post on the solenoid. Starter should spin. |

Also, you should open a new thread and not clutter others for more responses. Cutting and pasting the same response into a handful of existing threads just makes future searches for other people more difficult |

Re: 2001 ezgo will not start has no solenoid click
Yes. Just because you have power going somewhere doesn't mean anything if theres no path to ground to complete the circuit.

Re: 2001 ezgo will not start has no solenoid click
Ok, thanks for the tip. That makes sense and maybe explains why the cart will sometimes work. When I took it out of storage for the winter it worked just fine. Then suddenly it stopped. A few days later I was going to load it up on my trailer to take to my dads, and it suddenly started to work again. So I brought it to my dads to perform a tuneup on it and everything worked just fine. Again, a couple days later I went to load it up again to take it home and it quit working. That was with the old/original S/G so maybe that isn't the issue as I'm having the same issue with a brand new one. Again thanks for the tips, I'll see what I come up with.

Re: 2001 ezgo will not start has no solenoid click
One more question if you don't mind....What steps do I take to troubleshoot the ground? I've checked all connections and they are tight. Would I use a multimeter? If so what connections am I testing? Thanks again for the help!

I have just now been able to check the connections under the floor mat, both of which were clean and making good connection. The box was very clean and dry. Now I am back to square one any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance |
