Default Re: 97 EZGO TXT DCS won’t move after light install

Does this cart have a TOW/RUN switch on the controller cover??. And if the answer is yes. Did you flip it to TOW before you did any of the wiring. Are you sure it's a DCS cart? How many wires are coming out of the back side of the charge port on the cart?.

How many wires are coming out of the back side of the charge port on the cart?. Two or three?

Check to see if you have battery pack volts on the small red/white wire coming out of the charge port

That's good.





Test the POS+ and the NEG_ post on the solenoid and see if it has both or which one is missing.







Look at this and start testing.

Yes, I try to avoid even using the term "ground" in reference to electric carts. The terminology I use is "Main Negative" when helping others, though I think most call it "Battery Negative".

Everything goes back to main (or battery) negative via a wire, NEVER via a chassis ground.

Throwing in the towel, taking it to my local golf cart guy. Not getting a 36V reading on any of the troubleshooting procedures.
