1995 Club Car DS Vglide solenoid failures 36V

The most likely culprit to me would be the pre-charge resistor being bad. It is responsible for pre-charging the capacitors in the controller which prevents what is called a “surge” or “inrush” current from happening, which on an instantaneous basis can far exceed the ratings of the solenoid contacts. Over time, the arcing happening at the contacts will weld them closed. Something to check at a minimum. Hope this helps.

A 1995 Club Car 36 Volt car uses resistor coils to regulate the speed. It doesn't have a controller or a pre-charge resistor.

My 94 DS 36V Cart has a controller and no resistors.

Correct. We're talking about a 95. Club Car used a controller in a handful of 1993 models and nearly all of the 1994 models. In 1995 they went back to resistors and stayed that way until 2004 when the 36 Volt car was discontinued.

We have them in our store. Link below. Last three digits are 901, not 101.
