1997 36v eletric ezgo txt
I got a 1997 ezgo txt 36v eletric cart a few weeks ago. I knew it needed batteries and a few other things. I bought new crown batteries and wires to start off. Nothing happened. Looked around the foward/reverse board was cracked. Changed it out and the cart ran. Drove it up the street grinding noise from rearend/motor. Hit a bump on the way back and the cart died. Took the motor off. It had a bad bearing (grinding noise) fixed that and had the rest of the motor looked at as well. Put the motor back in and nothing. Solenoid clicks the controller flashes 4x then solid green when peddle is pushed. Took wires off the motor and f/r board and went through to make sure i had them hooked up right. All wires hooked up right. Pushed the peddle and it took off like it should. Got it loaded up on a trailer and went to back it off soon as i got on it i rolled back and jarred the cart but not bad. So again it won't do anything. I've checked all connections and can not find any loose or bad connections anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: 1997 36v eletric ezgo txt
Sounds like it could be the four pin Molex plug that is located between the throttle box and the controller. It carries the solenoid activation wire, and throttle wire. They have been known to corrode and cause intermittent problems. Also check the solenoid. Just because it clicks doesn't mean it's closing and making good contact.

Update... left the battery cable off the main positive over night. Hooked it back up first thing this morning and drove around the yard 2 laps then stopped for a few seconds and it wouldn't go again.

I also cut the molex plug and did away with it.

I'm assuming you have an Alltrax controller by the light codes you referred to earlier. What does the light do when the cart doesn't go?

Re: 1997 36v eletric ezgo txt
The solenoid clicks and the LED comes on green when pedal is pushed, but motor doesn't always run, so the problem is one of the following:
1. High current circuit. 2. ITS circuit. 3. Controller. 1. Connect DVM between the B- and M- terminals on controller. After solenoid clicks, you should read full battery pack voltage. a. If you do, press pedal to floor and the voltage should decrease to 0V. Also, the LED ought to turn yellow (amber), indicating the throttle is wide open and controller is not in current limiting. b. If you don't get pack voltage, there is a problem in the high current cables, connections or contacts. 2. Connect DVM between the terminals the black and white wires are connected to. Should be 10V with pedal up and 6V with pedal down. 3. If high current circuit is intact and ITS circuit is functioning normally, the controller is bad. |

Re: 1997 36v eletric ezgo txt
I'll get a tester tomorrow and check the solenoid. I habent had much time today to mess with the cart. However I've got on it a 2 or 3 times and rode aeound on it. 1 time it went a couple of feet and the other rode around the yard several times. Go to walmart came back and nothing would happen
