G1 no go

rascalmax · 06-22-2011, 10:39 AM

working on a G1- replaced solenoids, accelerator stop switch.
Key switch is good, motor will run.
good batteries
I have been tracing wire connections for 2 nights and donot find anything that stands out as 2 why this car won't run.
just confirms to me this is why I am not a yamaha haha fan.
ANy ideas out thier?
My next step is to pull new wires so I can eliminate bad connections as a possiblity.

Could be as simple as the "charge lock" button in the charger receptical. It was designed to not alow you to drive away with the charger plugged in. If the contacts are stuck..car wont run. Try some WD-40 and a few pushes on the white button. Also helpfullgo to www.yamahagolfcar.com/partsandservice . There you can look up (in the owners manual section) a wireing diagram and you can do some real testing. Good luck

If I remember correctly you can use the the G2E Circuit diagram, but I did some searching and found this post

there's a diagram if you scroll down a little.

I had intended on replacing the entire wire harness on my G1 when I got it but decided that it was better to go solid state if I was going through that much trouble... And I love my new cart now :D
