Re: Will Blown Diode Cripple Cart?
Solenoid jump:
Rear axle on stands, wheels off ground. Key off, cart in neutral. Remove one cable between batteries to break the pack circuit Install a 6g jumper across the large terminals of the solenoid, leave precharge resisitor and other large cables in place, tighten everything down. Reinstall the battery cable removed earlier. Key on, cart to forward, step on gas. If motor now engages, the solenoid is proven bad and needs to be replaced. |

Re: Will Blown Diode Cripple Cart?
Good post Gman I would point out that from the pics he needs some work on the connections in the way of cleaning.

Disconnect your battery circuit, then try removing and cleaning the posts and terminals at the solenoid. Check wires and lugs for corrosion and clean until they are shiny.  |

Re: Will Blown Diode Cripple Cart?
WOW! You guys are the best! After testing the solenoid, it runs fine (up on jackstands) So that was my problem...now the question is 1) where to buy one and 2) should I replace that resister on it since it got so hot? Thanks again for an excellent forum~couldn't have done it w/out you guys.
ps, anybody need a good, working controller since I didn't need it anyway?  Best~Doc |

Re: Will Blown Diode Cripple Cart?
I would like to add something to this discussion
 Sometimes the solenoid jumper test makes the cart run and then we say that the solenoid was bad but, in fact it may be that the solenoid activation circut has failed  |
