Help.............Always "on/hot" Club Car Precedent
My buddy has a 2008 Precedent and it is always "on". Even if you totally remove the ignition switch assembly the cart is hot and is able to operate in forward and reverse.
He has tried unplugging the new bucket harness for the lights, unhooking the voltage reducer, resetting the OBC, replacing the solenoid thinking it was welded open. If you flip it to tow it does kill the cart. Any thoughts what could be going on that keeps this cart hot? Faulty wire somewhere in the main harness? Controller? |

Re: Help.............Always "on/hot" Club Car Precedent
Was the cart used before he bought it? My guess is someone has attempted to bypass the OBC in some manner or has wired the solenoid hot perhaps. Does the cart switch to reverse as normal? Also, the key wires could have been messed with or wired together for whatever reason (lost key maybe?). Just a few thoughts. CTD and TahoeDog will likely have better insight. Those two dudes are studs.

Re: Help.............Always "on/hot" Club Car Precedent
if cart is hot even with the key switch removed , but no power when in tow, then it is the solenoid
try removing one of the small wires from solenoid if it does not kill power then retest solenoid |

Re: Help.............Always "on/hot" Club Car Precedent
Yes the cart was used. I hardly ever turn my key to off so when I was moving carts around I never noticed if there was a problem initially.
The cart goes into reverse as normal. I totally removed the ignition switch and left the wires just hanging there....connected to nothing........and the cart will go forward and reverse. We pulled a solenoid out of a 2012 that is running perfect and put it in the 2008 with the same results....always hot. Put the solenoid from the 2008 into the 2012 and the cart performs normally. So that tells me it isn't solenoid. |

Thanks.
Any chance it is the controller? I wouldn't think so but I want to eliminate that. |

controller gets power from key not the other way around

Re: Help.............Always "on/hot" Club Car Precedent
Which batteries are you using to draw power for your lights? I ran into this problem last week with two carts I bought as rebuilds from a local wholesaler. The lights were hooked up to the wrong batteries and the car would run with the switch off. Once I hooked up the lights correctly, the problem went away.
