Diodes
There has been some discussion about diodes on solenoids. My question is do all club car IQ carts need diodes on the solenoid. Mine is a 2003 IQ. I do not have a diode on my solenoid, should I put one on it? Are there some carts that do not need them?

Re: Diodes
Your IQ cart does have one on it!! It is very small and attached to the solenoid between the 2 small blade connectors.

Re: Diodes
A good many of the square CC solenoids had an internal diode on the activation circuit. These solenoids are identified by their shape and the RED + sign on one small post.

Re: Diodes
The last time I was working around the solenoid I did not notice the diode. I will have to pull the cover off and look closely now, Thanks for the responses.

Re: Diodes
Sure enough, that little sucker is right where you said it was. So small and under the wiring I never saw it before. BTW, my solenoid also has a sticker showing the pos. spade.
