Alltrax series issue
cart spec- '01, TXT, 36v, series, 500A Alltrax, newish batteries, heavy cables, hd FNR, 400A solenoid.
<----------- Pic of my golf cart As of Sunday night my cart started this thing where I push the accelerator, solenoid clicks and nothing happens. I push the accelerator again and it normally goes. Sometimes it takes a couple pushes of the accelerator, but usually it does it on the second try. NOTE: the solenoid clicks every time even if the cart doesn't move. It does this in forward more than it does in reverse (it's only done it twice in reverse so far). My first thoughts were I have a loose connection somewhere. So I checked everything. I had one mildly loose battery connection, nothing else. I blew off everything, because it had a heavy coat of dust on everything (used compressed air). Checked the water in the batteries, no problems there. At this point I thought I will just charge it over night and check it in the morning because it didn't start doing this until the end of the day. I got up the next morning and it's still doing it, batteries are fully charged. I have not gone any further with investigating. Going to try and hook it up to my laptop in the next day or so I can see what the alltrax is saying. I am going to check my FNR selector to make sure it's engaging everything all the way. It's always a little sticky and I have noticed that on the forward you have to give it a little shove from time to time or it wont engage all the way. Is there a chance that it will click the solenoid if the FNR isn't 100% engaged, it would seem unlikely, but maybe possible. |

Re: Alltrax series issue
If the FNR is not going all the way to the stop, there is an adjustment for that. Loosen the FNR bracket bolts slightly, and the assemble can slide side to side. I like to rotate the FNR exactly halfway between F and R or N, then slide side to side until the FNR handle is exactly at 12:00. Tighten bolts, and it should now go to both F and R stops without any force.
If it's not that, check Molex. |

Re: Alltrax series issue
I think you replaced your solenoid when you did your upgrade, right? Either way, it might be something to check. I’ve read about them clicking but not actually engaging and able to pass current.

Re: Alltrax series issue
I am definitely going to see if I can adjust the fnr tonight. Thanks for the pointers.
Orangeman6, Yes sir, the solenoid came with the alltrax. I bought the huntin buggy package from ScottyB, it came with the alltrax and 400A solenoid. |

Re: Alltrax series issue
Yurtle, it's been a while since I did the install, but I don't think I have a molex anymore. Pretty sure I put connectors on those wires and wired them directly to where they go. However, I will check the wires again.
I will say.... As I sit here and ponder on this. What is starting to puzzle me is this only happens on when first taking off. Once everything engages I have no issues, it goes fine, it doesn't cut out while moving or any issues that you would think would be associated with loose wires. IMO, it seems too consistent to be a loose connection. Starting to think I need to check hardware better- solenoid, FNR, controller. |

Look for a controller LED code when it's not running. Has to be powered up. |
