Boom ... the cart would move forward and back and with a solid green light on the controller. When all wires were returned to their proper place, the same 1green/6 red indication would happen on the controller. This is when the tech determined that the controller was bad.

From what I have read, if you place all wires on one side (Large terminal) of the solenoid (Bypass the solenoid) and the cart runs, you have a bad solenoid. But who am I to argue with the tech!!!!!
Thoughts ...

The Alltrax tech is (I think) correct. By bypassing the large wires from the controller directly to the solenoid, you provide the voltage directly thru the solenoid and to the motor. I would guess an internal short on the controller.

In my chosen career, I pride myself on being good at what I do. This process has me feeling rather helpless


I have emailed Scotty and will be sending the controller back first thing in the morning!

Scottyb should be able to either test the controller, or send it to Alltrax. It would be interesting to know the results. Keep us posted!
