cart has no power

[ChevyRacing75]

Is there a way to bypass ignition switch? If i turn key on and hold meter to pos and neg I get nothing?

I got a buddy coming to help me test some electric stuff. Ill let you know what we figure out.

Txt solenoid activation
power starts on the white wire on the 36+ of the battery pack.
Power travels to the charger receptacle, goes through a reed switch inside the receptacle and comes out on the red 12 gauge red wire. ( check for power here, 1st!)
the red wire travels back through the loom to the forward and reverse switch where it attaches to a micro.
The other side of that micro has a blue wire attached that runs under the cart to the front and arrives at the keyswitch.
The keyswitch then transfers power to a green wire which returns to the area of the forward and reverse switch.
The power then goes through a 4 pin molex connector and travels to the "pedal box" (located under the floorboard of the car) where it goes through a micro and comes out on another red wire.
That red wire comes back up to the controller/f&r area where it once again goes through the 4 pin molex connector and continues on to the small post of the solenoid.

Chevy, in your case, substitute 48v for 36v but the outcome is the same..... All testing is done with the black lead for the multimeter on the main pack negative.

ok I have no power going to key switch. Gonna try and follow wires

follw the blue wire back from the keyswitch to the F&R micro closest to the batteries. Across the micro and from there (based on the look of your charger recpticle) I assume they went straight to the battery pack.

Im a f in idiot. The fr swicth somehow rotated 180 and thats why I was getting now power. Sorry to waste your guys time again. Now that I tore my cart apart I have to put it back together

[madoc1]

don't think you wasted anyones time. but would like a better explainion on fnr rotation- this could happen to anyone of us! jim

Chevy recently replaced his stock F&R switch cam with the Heavy Duty Switch Cam.... I'm gonna venture a guess that the switch cam was not tightened down enough and somehow rotated? That would stop you in your tracks.... Hey Chevy, that's another first

yeah I need to adjust the whole unit so it is lined up better. Like loosen the 2 main bolts that hold the whole bracket and slide it maybe a quarter inch.

nah, you need to convert to using 2 solenoids... you and that F&R are not getting along at all .........lmao.
