96-97 club car moves when the key is off or on with out pressing the accelerator

DLB · 07-31-2010, 01:52 PM

I have owned a 96-97 electric club car for 7 years now. It is a 36 volt system with the v-glide windshield wiper piece (I don't understand too much how this cart works with out a dedicated controller). Replaced the batteries a few years ago, and recently replaced the rear shoes and drums. The problem is the cart will not stop, regardless if the ignition switch is on or off. By move I mean, like a constant slow creep in which ever direction the gear switch is selected, reverse or forwards. I looked inside when it wouldn't stop, and it appears when I move the gear leaver from forwards to reverse there is a spark, like a short that happens at the neutral point. I am not sure what to do, or what parts need to be replaced. If I need to provide any more information or details just ask.

Thank you in advance,
DLB

your solenoid is stuck in the "on" position. Either the solenoid is welded shut or the activation circuit is faulty.
