48v solenoid resistor HOT
Forgive me if this is answered elsewhere, I looked but couldn't find this exact issue. Sold my simple old Yamaha G9 and am building up an 07 Precedent. Put in new batteries and nothing. Opened the cover to check the solenoid and found the terminals on the wires from the reistor at the yellow wires coroded. Replaced the spade connectors and plugged it in, but the resistor immediately got really hot so I unplugged it and put it back in "tow".
Do I have a bad controller? |

Re: 48v solenoid resistor HOT
. . . I am wondering if solenoid may be defective causing the pre-charge resistor to heat up . . . wait for someone like Tahoe to see this thread, though . . .

Re: 48v solenoid resistor HOT
Thanks Steve, that would be good news- sounds cheaper. I checked it some more today and it's strange because even with the key off and the switch in "tow" the resistor heats up really fast to the point it is expanding.
The resistor still reads 240 ohms. No voltage to the coil when pedal is pressed with key on and in "run". Last edited by ///matth; 08-30-2014 at 06:48 PM.. Reason: New info |

Re: 48v solenoid resistor HOT
Sorry to say but that is the controller that is shot.The resistor pre-charges the capacitors in the controller.

Re: 48v solenoid resistor HOT
Figures. Should I go with the stock Curtis? New or is it ok to get used or rebuilt?
Thanks |

Re: 48v solenoid resistor HOT
I thought this was supposed to be a 250 ohm resistor?

Re: 48v solenoid resistor HOT
It's a 250 ohm resistor for a 36V cart 500 ohm for a 48V

Re: 48v solenoid resistor HOT
Cool, I'll try it. Would the 240 ohms I'm getting cause it to overheat?

Re: 48v solenoid resistor HOT
Less resistance equal more current flow equal more heat? It would be cheaper than trying a controller.
