Dead 2001 TXT
Cart was operating great until I hit a big hole in the road-it stopped running immediately. The batteries charge, and all accessories work (lights, backup beeper etc) but the cart will not run. The cart was towed with the run/two swithch in the run position (did't notice this until after the fact). I tried running the self diagonistic test, but this does not work (followed instructions posted on cover). Has anyone an idea of what the problem may be? I don't know how to test the solenoid, motor, or controller.

Re: Dead 2001 TXT
How big was the whole? Did you check all the wires running to the motor?

Re: Dead 2001 TXT
Yes! All wires are securely connected and no apparent problems were detected.

Re: Dead 2001 TXT
Are you getting a solenoid click when you try to go? Reason I ask is if the solenoid does not click the broken connection is in the solenoid activation circuit or battery connection.... If the solenoid does click the problem is in a motor cable or such...... but I fear your bigger problem may be the tow home without flipping the TOW switch... that can fry the motor and controller..... so get busy sorting this out

Re: Dead 2001 TXT
Obviously the two are connected. The hole jarred something loose somewhere or some electronic unit broke. Problem is finding it. My brother in law is famous for saying "it is something simple" and that is probably true here. But finding the simple things are a lot harder than finding a major problem. You being there and me being here I have no idea on what to tell you and just wasted your time reading this post!

Re: Dead 2001 TXT
Trace the activation circuit down...... once you get the solenoid to click we can see if the tow home did any damage?
TXT solenoid activation circuit 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. |

Re: Dead 2001 TXT
Check under the passenger side frame, the activation circuit runs there to the key switch. My buddy hit a hole and smashed these wires on his cart once. It was pinched right behind the pasenger tire where it comes up towards the key switch. Good luck
