Replaced solenoid and still no click

[tomr406]

I have 1996 ds, club car, with mcor conversion kit installed 1 year, solenoid replaced,new batteries this spring

i rest OBC twice... I put a new solenoid in and still no click. so i tested the solenoid and found this!
I checked all the batteries and all tbe wiring with a meter no breaks in wire. All the fuses are good. i found on the small terminal with the red and white wires on it no voltage while pressing pedal down so i took them of the post on red wire no voltage and white wire 51.8 volts when its off the terminal. i found the diode is bad and order new one. but will this cause my problem?
I need some direction on what might be my problem.

thank you
tom

The solenoid needs 48v between the 2 small posts when the gas peddle is down. Check to see if you are missing the + or the - side ......
With the cart on blocks use a small jumper wire to temporarily bring the missing current to the solenoid. It should click immediately and the wheels should spin with the gas peddle down .... report back.

Yellow neg. goes from solenoid to OBC, if the solenoid clicks when you jumper the yellow to battery neg then the OBC is faulty or there is no continuity in the yellow wire. The OBC disconnects the yellow when the car is on charge to prevent it being driven.

ok from battery 6 to small terminals 49.5 on each terminal From the 1 battery to small terminals i read .2v on both terminal. so i thing i lost the ground. tried to jump ground from number 6 battery..nothing

I presume you did remove the faulty diode before doing the tests

[tomr406]

yes i did.

Do you have good ignition power from the key?

I'm still thinking OBC issue, had it baffle me once and I did this (per TahoeDawg's advice) -

Use a small jumper wire and clip to the small post of the solenoid (NOT LARGE POST) where the yellow wire is located. Clip the other end to the B- post of the controller. If the car will now run when you try to go, replace the OBC.

Let us know what happens.
