Re: 2008 PDS will not go
Thanks Scotty i'll print this out and run the test at lunch and let you know. As for the solenoid i remember when the pedal is press i do not hear anything from the solenoid but i hear a click at the pedal. But i will let you know.

Re: 2008 PDS will not go
If no solenoid click. Put both test leads on the small solenoid terminals. When the peddle micro clicks the solenoid should have 36v across the small terminals. IF not I suspect the small red wire coming from the back of the Charger receptacle has no power..... Check with black lead at battery main neg and red lead at small red wire.

Re: 2008 PDS will not go
Ok i checked the batteries and the solenoid like you explained above Scotty. Yes the cart was in forward and the batteries all checked out. Individually they are 6+ volts and when i did the pack text it was 38+. When i checked the solenoid it also read 38+ on both larger post. When i pressed the gas or not it read the same thing. I didn't get our message about the red wire coming from the charger part till now. I will do that when i get home. But the solenoid does not click.

Re: 2008 PDS will not go
On all those 19v reading you must have had the neg test lead on the wrong battery? Not where you would get the 38+v pack reading, but not important now. What I read twice here is the solenoid large posts have power (38v) at both terminals whether peddle is depressed or not, This is a solenoid failure. To Double check, Disconnect battery + lead first to avoid accidental short. Then carefully disconnect the controller side of the solenoid at the solenoid. Now reconnect battery pack + and see if you still have both large terminals 38v? Disconnect one of the small solenoid terminals. Still 38+ volts, = bad solenoid

Re: 2008 PDS will not go
Awesome... thanks. I'll try that and see what happens. Just picked up a new solenoid so maybe i did something to it when I put it back on. Thanks for the help.

Re: 2008 PDS will not go
Also Scotty just so i don't screw anything up further what wire is the controller side of the solenoid? Is it the 2 large post above the solenoid on the controller box?

Re: 2008 PDS will not go
There are 2 big cables going to the solenoid. One goes to Battery Pack Positive on the battery side. The other goes to the B+ side of the controller.....

Re: 2008 PDS will not go
Ok i removed the main (+) wire and also removed the wire off the solenoid to the controller. I ran the test again on the large post and both show (38+v). Then i tested the small post on the solenoid and they showed .5 v. I also took off small wire off left sm post and same thing. No volt reading on the small post of the solenoid.
