diode????
ok so put new resistor and diode on and no the solenoid won't activate. I know it is directional and I put it on the same as the one i took off so what huh?? what side does the line on the diode go to on the solenoid???? I saw it somewhere before but now I search and search and find nothing

Re: diode????
Sometimes it is easier for testing to leave the resistor & diode off until you get the cart to run. Then put them on to protect the controller and solenoid

Re: diode????
I get 36.8 volts comming to the solenoid from the red wire when the pedal is pushed but when the wre is hooked to the solenoid I get like .1 or .2 volts?????

Re: diode????
so I removed the all the wires to the solenoid then jumped voltage directly from the battery pack and the solenoid engages. hooked it all back up, same deal the red wire that comes from the throttle box micro has voltage when disconnected from solenoid but when connected no voltage... opened up throttle box and green wire to micro has voltage and losses voltage when micro is engaged all wires hooked up..... ?????? any ideas took micro switch out and jumped green to red wire nothing?????

Re: diode????
dark out now so I will work on it tomorrow. I was getting about 38.1 volts from the pack and about 36.8 from the red wire when disconnected from the solenoid. tomorrow I will test the red and green individually and see what I get. seems im loosing a volt somewhere in the wireing
no hard feelings PG. old jokes aren't that great when your frustrated trying to figure out wiring and it should work but it doesn't and you have no clue why. Going over and over your work checking rechecking , rereckecking and so on, hope all was spilld ta yer lickin' |

Re: diode????
will do. do you think it is getting fool voltage until a load is placed upon it,(shouldn't be a load hooked to the solenoid with no diode?) than it drops out somewhere along the line I just need to find where it drops out?
