Default G8 only runs when big posts are jumped

Any idea what this would diagnose? G8 runs when I jump the two large posts on the solenoid.

Either the solenoid itself has failed, or the solenoid activation circuit has failed. Was the solenoid clicking before you jumped it? If it was this would indicate that the solenoid itself is bad because the circuit that activates it is doing it's job.

The question and answer would be the same for any electric cart.

And, I've been out of printing for over six years now. Working with my hands and brain now fixing broken stuff for my employer. And they break a lot of stuff!

Solenoid was not clicking before jumping. What step to check the activation circuit. Not even sure where that is.

Would it hurt anything to leave it jumped?

Check the 2 little diode boxes next to the controller. Also, does yours have white button on charge port. Both common for "no-run" on yamaha of that era.

looks like one diode box is missing. That's probably my issue?

Thats a starting point. Is it gone like removed or corroded until it fell off?
