EZGO 36V solenoid is jumped

azwade1 · 09-11-2009, 05:12 PM

My 87 EZGO did run forward with A and D jumped on the solenoid (smokes if in reverse). However, now it will not run at all?? New solenoid installed and batteries have good voltage (38+). What can I check and why does it only run with solenoid jumped? thanks

further info, how do I check the microswitches? Seems I'm not getting 36V to the solenoid..... The MS do have continuity, which changes when the FR switch is turned either way. What else can I check? THX

Not sure ..... verify if the micros at the F&R work and if they are pos current? If so you need a constant Neg charge at the other small terminal on the solenoid. It takes a pos and neg of full voltage to operate the solenoid Switch.....

where does the 36V come from (to solenoid) and I'm not positive how to check that microswitches are good.... thanks

do you have a digital voltmeter?
