You may have a bad solenoid. Continuity thru the big posts all the time then not? WHats happening with your solenoid activation circuit? Do you know how to activate the solenoid to see if in fact it is good? That might be a good place to look right now? Bring 1 pos and 1 neg to the small posts on the solenoid and it should click = continuity at the big posts .....

Try the reed fuse in the charger receptacle?

All of sudden i'm not get voltage to the solenoid..

sounds like you blew the main fuse at the batteries

unless that cart was modified, there is no main fuse at the batteries.

CashFive, when you say you are getting no power to the Solenoid are you talking about the activation circuit or the power circuit?

[cashfive]

activation, I had it before, unless I moved something while tracing wires

TXT solenoid activation
Power starts on the White wire on the 36+ of the battery pack.
Power travels to the charger receptacle, goes through a reed switch inside the receptacle and comes out on the red 12 gauge red wire. ( check for power here, 1st!)
The red wire travels back through the loom to the Forward and reverse switch where it attaches to a micro.
The other side of that micro has a blue wire attached that runs under the cart to the front and arrives at the keyswitch.
The keyswitch then transfers power to a green wire which returns to the area of the Forward and Reverse switch.
the power then goes through a 4 pin Molex connector and travels to the "pedal Box" (located under the floorboard of the car) where it goes through a micro and comes out on another red wire.
That red wire comes back up to the Controller/F&R area where it once again goes through the 4 pin molex connector and continues on to the small post of the solenoid.

That is the complete activation circuit. I would suggest going in reverse order and trace back where you lost the power to the activation circuit. More than likely something came disconnected while you were moving wiring.

OK I have solenoid working. Now how do I test the motor? Should there be any resistance between the post on the motor?

[scottyb]

Continuity (resistance of some sort ) between A1 and A2 and F1 and F2 but not between any A and F terminal...... P.S. if you get this far and the solenoid is clicking but the cart won't move ... suspect the controller
