85 club car DS issues

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. The batteries are disconnected and I have continuity across all solenoids without the pedal pushed.

I can hear all the micro switches click thru the range of the pedal...

[Nike]

Hooked the batteries back up and confirmed it is engaging "high speed" with the click of the first micro switch...

just because you hear a micro switch click or a solenoid click does not mean it is working


test like this
if you get continuity with out go pedel pressed then micro swith is bad



main solenoid is engaging and the full speed solenoid is engaging
test solenoids also
full speed solenoid is more than likely welded closed giving you full speed when pedal is engaged

Fooled with it a little longer. Will try again tomorrow evening. I'm totally confused at this point but your post might have shed some light on it for me...


I hooked everything back up and tested it on the jack stand.
Had full speed with the first click of the pedal.....

Put it on the ground, went for a test ride and nothing on the first click and full speed on the second....

I also check each battery individually and had 6.35 on the weakest and 6.36-6.38 on the other.....


Thank you for all your help crash test dummy...

just take it one at a time it will come together
do not run motor full speed when jacked up , just enough to see it runs
batteries are fully charged

with key off take your probes and place them on the 2 large studs on the full speed solenoid
if you get continuity it is bad
