Default ezgo pds starts to go then shuts down

Hi there, I have a 2009 pds cart solenoid clicks wheels turn for a second or less then solenoid clicks off. when i run a direct ground to solenoid ( little blue wire) it does the same thing push the pedal and it runs a sec then nothing. my ITS is giving change in pedal position readings and micro switch clicks. The controller has that I'm burnt smell . anyone had this happen before ? and yes it has big wheels. could it be controller or am i missing something?

Need more info. year , volts 36 or 48? Is it a DCX version is it stock controller?
If your running big tires on stock controller , good chance the controller is toast

Cheers !

I know it's hard to localize smell, but are you sure it's the controller and not the solenoid? Are there any wires in there that look burned?

The PDS style cart is what Johnny -B calls a "fly by wire " system .
The controller does everything . The external switches and circuitry only tell the controller what to do .
To get the controller to energize , The Solenoid , 6 sets of contacts and 5 switches need to be closed
The switches in question are 1)reed switch 2) run/tow switch 3) key switch
4) F/R switch 5 ) Pedal switch

good luck

Bypassed solenoid and had no effect . all the other switches seem good , bypassed reed switch F/R is a rocker switch and it changes direction fine but could be bypassed to make sure. key input is good and the POT is good micro is clicking and (ITS) is registering at controller.... can i do the same test on this motor as others. hooking the A-1 & F-1 together and the A-2 & F-2 then add power to one jumper and ground the other?

Do you hear the solenoid click when pedal depressed ?

With key switch on , F/R in F , Run /Tow switch in run and the pedal pushed
, you should have pack voltage between B-and M- or close to it
Also check for battery pack voltage on pin 4 on connector to controller

yes solenoid clicks. wheels start to move about one rotation and shuts down. controller has only A1 , B- AND B+. I have pack voltage between A1 and B- when pedal is up not pressed it starts to drop as pedal is engaged then the cart stops? Thanks for the help by the way

I believe there is a methodical troubleshooting guide in the Stickies. Make sure you use the correct one, as there may be series, DCS and PDS.
