86 club car wont go

[dreamylioness]

Ok here we go , 86 club car when you turn the key on and move the gear lever to reverse or to forward you can hear a click but the cart wont go .
The horn works not sure about the lights but main concern is where to start ?
I am like so new to club carts or golf carts would just like to get this thing going again .

Thanks

More than likely its a solenoid problem. Find a posting that addresses how to test solenoids. This should be done after all of the cabling has been checked and the batteries are charged. Good luck.

You seem to be getting a slow start This should help.........
A quick overview of the solenoid is :
The solenoid is a HD on/off switch or Contactor
the connection is made /broken between the 2 large terminals. The 2 small terminals are the activation circuit. typically one terminal will have a constant negative connection to the pack. When Positive power is applied to the second terminal the contact is drawn up against the spring to make contact. When power from either side of the activation circuit is removed then contact is released and the spring pushes it away interrupting the circuit ...It doesn't matter which terminal is neg or pos.
