94 ez-go troubleshooting....

[bradical]

i have come across a 94 marathon that is a no go.
*battery pack= 38.3 volts
*cart charges
* i get a reverse buzzer
*new HD solenoid
*new pot box
*power to the key switch and solenoid and controlley

solenoid didnt click so i jumped it(small post to main +) and the cart drove fine
this is my first time playing with a marathon and i was wanting to know some steps to troubleshooting this thing
any help is greatly appreciated and ill post pics so if you see anything wrong from the previous owners wiring please let me know THANKS!

yeah, move the yellow wire to the front of the pot box micro switch.

its allready there...

The black shrink tubing just makes it look like it's connected to the center terminal in the picture. I had to clean my glasses and dust off the screen to see it right.
(Good picture though, just lighting and angles playing tricks on old eyes)

I'm not sure what the layout on that switch is, but the Red and Blue wires should be on the "C" terminal and the Yellow wire should be on the "NC" terminal.

If the solenoid clicks when up jump B+ to the terminal with Yellow wire attached, there's an open in the Key-Switch/interlock circuit someplace.

Do you have a schematic to trace it out on? If not we might be able to find one.

From what you say is all correct then your not getting power from the micro switch on the pot to the solenoid. Your picture shows the yellow wire connected to the middle screw. Move it toward the font of the cart and see what happens. If that doesn't change it then try a new micro sitch.

Or use a DVM to see why you are not getting the solenoid to engage

yea that shrink tubing is def throwing some people off, however i do believe i have the right schematic

[scottyb]

Maybe you are not getting any power into the Pot micro?

You could by pass all the F&R micros. Run the key switch wire to the pot micro and she will run just fine.

Yep,
the yellow wire is good. Just the angle on the picture made it look like it was in the middle.

This is your wiring schematic. Like we said if you jumped the solenoid out and it ran you have something in the ignition wiring not closing.
