2004 pds issue

[ltmoeller]

I have a 2004 pds with 2014 Trojan batts so they are good my problem is solenoid will click and sometimes move other times solenoid will click cart will move and after a foot or so solenoid will click and cart stops moving.I am wondering if solenoid is dropping out causing cart not to move?
Thanks in advance,Tom

Cart won't move unless solenoid contacts are closed, so the cart will stop if solenoid drops out while moving.

Put controller into diagnostic mode and listen for the beep codes while driving.
Text at bottom of attached label tells you how to put into diagnostic mode.

Thank you,I have no beeps and I never had a reverse buzzer.Whould it be located under the cover where the controller is?I have not removed the cover yet.
Thanks,Tom

The reverse buzzer is behind the key switch panel, maybe some one unplugged it

Ok I hooked up buzzer and did diagnostic test and I got beep,beep very quickly.Cat will sometimes move and then I hear solenoid click and cart stops.It will always click but not always go.

The first set of beeps when in goes into the diagnostic mode tells you what PDS performance more the controller is in. See attached.

Two beeps = Steep Hill mode.

Do you get rapid beeping and regen braking when solenoid drops out?

--------------
You might have a dirty connection in one of the plugs.

Flip Run/Tow to Tow before disconnecting or reconnecting anything.

Clean all plugs, don't forget the in-line ones that connect the pedal box to the wiring harness and the reed switch to the harness.
