HELP! Need advice with wiring a 36V Controller/HD Solenoid upgrade!!!!!!
Forum gurus,
I need some help. I have a 1992 CC that had the V-glide and coiled resistor system. I recently purchased the following: Alltrax AXE4845 400 amp controller MZJ 400S HD Solenoid 5774 HD F/R Switch 4 gauge cables PB-6 throttle box I am using this schematic from Alltrax: http://www.alltraxinc.com/files/Doc1...6-wire-dia.pdf Here's my problem. I can get over 36 volts to the large solenoid contacts. I get over 36 volts to the controller studs. I get over 36 volts to the F/R switch. I can't get the small wiring correct. Right now I have one wire (red) from the key switch hooked up to the positive battery cable. The other key switch wire (blue) is hooked up to the top lug on the F/R micro. The F/R micro bottom lug wire goes to the field secondary solenoid side. Also mounted on the secondary side is a small cable that goes to Controller B-. On the primary side of the field solenoid, I have one wire from the PB-6 switch. Also on the primary side is a wire that goes to the Controller's 'key on' lug. And finally, the common lug on the PB-6 is wired to the black wire from the fuse. This wire originally hooked to the micro on the V-glide. The reverse buzzer is hooked up to the left large contactor on the solenoid. When I contact the last battery cable to the circuit, the buzzer will sound for a few seconds, and then slowly die out. I think that this is a function caused by the pre-charge resistor, but I'm not sure. If I turn the key switch on, the Controller LED never lights. It should come on as soon as the key switch is turned on, correct? As soon as I flip the F/R switch, it blows the micro. I've stopped at this point because I am at a loss. I need some help!!!! Would someone please chime in with some advice? |

Now, the small terminal of the solenoid that has the wire on it from the micros and key switch....another wire will go from that terminal to the #1 small terminal contact on the controller. lets start with that |

oxfordlawn, Thanks for replying OK, so you're saying to leave the blue wire on the top lug of the F/R switch. Then, run the other F/R switch wire to one lug of the PB-6, and then run the other lug wire from the PB-6 back to the solenoid on the #1 side (this is what I called primary). Also run a wire from the Controller to this side as well. On the #2 side (this is what I called secondary) run the wire from B- on Controller. Does this sound correct? |

Re: HELP! Need advice with wiring a 36V Controller/HD Solenoid upgrade!!!!!!
How about the small black wire that originally went to from the fuse receptacle to the V-glide?
Do I hook it up to the middle lug of the PB-6 because I'm using the common lug for the F/R wire and the third lug for the solenoid #1 wire? Or, is there something that I'm missing? |

No forget about that wire. that was used as a switch on the ground(secondary) side of the solenoid wires. But you are now running the power thru both switches instead of 1 switching powerr and the other switching ground. So forget about that black wire, that was the old grounding path for the old solenoid system---understand?? |

OK,
I replaced the F/R micro and wired everything accordingly. Now, when the key is turned, the F/R switch is turned to F, and the throttle is pressed, the large solenoid contacts click and the controller green LED lights up. However, I have no power to the wheels (yes, the cart is on jackstands I actually had momentary power to the wheels (for a split second), and it looked as though the wheels spun in reverse. The two large cables (A2 and M-) from the bottom of the F/R switch are very warm. I checked the connections and they are good. Can it be that these cables should be reversed? Perhaps the picture of the Reverse Switch (I am assuming that this is the F/R Switch) in the diagram are showing the connections from the backside. I had assumed that this was a front view. The F/R switch has 4 contacts on the backside. I am only using the bottom 2 for A2 on the left, and M- on the right. When you turn the switch to F, S1 touches the upper right contact and A2 touches the lower left contact. When you turn the switch to R, S2 touches the top left contact and M- touches the bottom right contact. Every other large cable is hooked up exactly as the diagram shows. |

GOOD NEWS ...... I checked the Alltrax diagram and it looks like it will work!
Yes the view of the F&R is from the rear as you would see it. Lets start describing wires by their function and or where they go and what they do instead of by color..... the blue wire means nothing to me. The small blue wire that feeds the microswitch from the key does. Only then can anyone help you staighten this out. |

scottyb,
The blue wire that I was referring to is the blue wire for the F/R microswitch. If the view of the Reverse Switch on the diagram is from the backside, then I have A2 and M- reversed, and S2 and S1 reversed. What do you think? |
