1995 36V EZGO TXT No Power to Small lugs on Solenoid Cart wont move

[nicwhite46071]

I recently replaced the solenoid because I shorted it out by accidentally crossing the charging port wires when jumping the reed switch. I have power to the 2 big lugs but no power to the the small ones. Can someone help please and thanks in advance!

That’s a series cart, correct? You probably took out the micro switch too. Follow the path from the reed switch to the solenoid and see where you’re losing power.

You shouldn’t have power to both sides of the big lugs until the solenoid energizes. I think I’ve read it’s a false reading from the capacitors in the controller. DC the cable from the controller side and you’ll know.

Sorry I was incorrect when saying that I had power to both of the big lugs. I only have power to one side. I checked the forward and reverse switches and they both seem to be reading accurately. My next question would be does the ITS or pedal switch control the solenoid power? If one was broke would it not engage the solenoid?

I have power to the green wire when I put it in forward or reverse but no power to the red, white, or black wires. Is this correct? Also when the pedal is pushed the voltage to the green wire I’ll reads 36+
