Solenoid clicks, cart still won't go

stormin12 · 10-28-2012, 10:28 AM

I was able to run tests for the ITS:
B- to Controller Pin-2 (black), I was able to get 14.3V once the solenoid activated.
B- to Controller Pin-1 (white), I got .5V after the solenoid clicked, and 1.7V when I pressed in the throttle.

For the Motor:
I was struggling to get a good consistant reading on the resistance tests (likely user error), but I did hook up the motor to a 12V battery and the motor did work.

Based on previous information, does this leave me with a bad controller? With everything esle seeming to be eliminated, I believe that will be my next move (along with replacing all of the cables running to the motor, just in case). Unless anyone has another idea, I am off to order a controller. Thanks for all of the feedback. This has definitely been a learning experience.

This would be a good time to upgrade to a better controller.

Any good suggestions?

Thanks for all of the help! It was the contoller. I decided against upgrading. Knowing my luck, I was worried that I would get the upgraded controller, install it, and then nothing would happen. This was my very first go around with a golf cart and golf cart repairs. I am excited for winter to come so my wife will not be upset when I take her cart "out of service" for some customizing

Glad you got it working.

thanks for the motor info, going to try that tomorrow to see if it moves. Will it work with a 6 volt?

Let me add maybe a stupid answer.......... is it a resistor type I think I mean a series type or solid state.... I have the same thing on my 89 and the accelerator control board and contacts were in bad shape ..... I will be replacing them and if that doesn't fix mine .... then i will be back here asking you for help !
