Car quit when I went through a bump?

[edu01jose]

Well yesterday the car was running nice and all perfect. I was taking a little bump and as soon as I pressed the throttle it quit.
The solenoid clicks, the pedal micro thing clicks too, Batteries are giving out 37v at the charge it is right now so that's fine. Anything I should check? I checked all the wires. What can it be?
Thanks!

What type cart are we talking about? What year?

What is your output voltage at solenoid?

[shadowman]

check cables at motor make sure they are good and tight and one didn,t break loose, grab and give a pull..................look at all cable ends to see if any look burnt and even a clicking solenoid can be bad so jack the rear up and jump the large post on solenoid see if cart will run, depending on what year and model if you have the shift lever by the leg take a look at the microswitch behind the F&R that double micro has a metel arm and they tend to bend you,ll hear your solenoid but put it in gear and cart won,t run ( if you have that style )........................................

Guys still nothing... How can I test the motor on my cart as I think it's that.

Is it a series motor or sepex ?

The Axe 4855 is for a series motor.......

there are 2 ways to test the motor.....

The safe way:
Jack up the rear end and support on stands
Pull and mark all 4 wires off the motor
install a jumper wire between A2 and S2 on the motor.
Apply 12v negative to the S1 post
Apply 12v positive to the A1 post.

If motor turns, motor is good.


The not quite as Safe Way:
Jack up the rear end and support on stands.
Turn off Key and put car in neutral
Install a jumper between M- and B- on the controller
Put car in gear
Turn on key
step on accelerator pedal

WARNING!! you will be INSTANTLY applying full power to the motor so be prepared for car to jerk.

My Series test from EMP says jumper S1 to A2 apply 18v NEG to A1 and POS to S2
