Check this thread out, are these the parts you guys are speaking of???

If opinions on these have changed...Im glad I saved the old parts

Im now off to read the PDF from Alltrax..it seemed very interseting...but wanted to post this while the thread was active

Oxfordlawn- I have the same stuff (diode) on my solenoid, I remember your thread... after skimming that article above I'd make sure that stuff is back on!

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. Im so glad I saved those two pieces, usually I'd toss stuff like that out in a cleanup routine..but something made me throw those into the tool box junk drawer

I had the same problems after my conversion. I had a wire on the controler on wrong double check that wiring. I was having major problems with irratic stopping until I put the resistor and diode on. soleoid was sticking

That alltrax link was great info. I love finding answers to questions I didn't know I had. You guys are a great help.

can someone help me. where can i find a solenoid and resister group or just he solenoid coil for my 1986 36 volt club car DS...?

You need a 10watt 250ohm resistor.

I would think he may have found one in 4 years. lol!

Okay, so I have a few things to ask.

First, I wasn't able to charge the batteries in my neighbors 48v CC. Figured out it was 8.5 total volts of the bank... Jumped the charger wires and got them above 35v and now with everything back together, plug the charger in and it charges fine.

Issue is that the cart won't move. I tried the OBC reset to no avail... 5Mins, 10 mins, 45 mins... Nothing worked. Resistor on solenoid stays super hot. It;s bee replaced once. BUT It says 250 Ohms. Aren't the 48v supposed to have a 500ohm resistor?

Also, I'm trying to figure out how to jump the OBC to see if this thing will even move.

Is this the best way to test to see if the OBC is bad?

Thanks.

Welcome - Read about it here.... http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...excel-obc.html

And it is best to start a new thread so it is about you and your cart for future reference.
