02 txt solinoid only clicks, nothing else

You can take the pre-charge resistor off & the cart will run.
Does the solenoid click?
Are you getting 49v between controller B+ and B- when the solenoid clicks? If yes, redo the controller output test with the controller clicking you should start at 0 and increase voltage output as the peddle is depressed.

Very likely the kids fried the control. Does it smell burnt ~ you know, that electrical burnt smell?

Are you saying to take off the resistor and see if the solinoid click?

it clicks now with the resistor on.

...just to eliminate the it take the resistor off & Check the controller

sounds like they burnt up the controller, GO SMELL IT

[fishb8]

I took the resistor off, it was hot. buggie did not move.
I put the meter on the m- and b+ and got similiar results.

ugh, what next?

[shadowman]

did you small the controller? i agree after reading this i think your controller might be toast..........................

[fishb8]

yes i did smell it, but i dont smell anything burnt.

Any other test I can do to verify the problem?

Then do the controller out put test;

Check the power output from the controller by connecting the negative probe to the controller's M- terminal and positive to the B+ terminal. Press the accelerator and watch to see if the voltage increases. It should increase from a reading of 0 to the full voltage of the battery. If the motor is not turning, the problem may be in the directional switch or motor. The controller is bad and must be replaced if there is no voltage.
I probably should mention controller test is done with at least one rear wheel jacked off the floor and key on, directional selector in forward. ~ test leads on B+ and M- should read 0v then push the gas and watch the voltage rise to full pack voltage?

This was the 4th post ~ Controller output test

scotty should i test this with the resistor on or off?

[scottyb]

If it's off you can leave it off for now.

The kids unknowingly did the most destructive thing they could have possibly done by putting the cart in a stall situation and holding the gas peddle down....

With the resistor off I get 0 volts from m- and b+.
Push the peddle and I get .00038 volts.
