01 Club Car 48v DS regen almost moves but doesn't.

[Buzjit]

2001 Club Car DS re-gen II 48v. Cart was running and then went to use it and it went about 10 ft and as I stepped into accelerator, it bucked and then quit. Checked for loose or bad connections all round. Nothing. Voltage across batteries 51v. Batteries are two years old. I put the cart on a jack for testing. Wheels move slowly in F or R but if I press down to far on the accelerator, wheels quit turning. The selonoid in the rear offers various clicks as I do this. Thanks, Buzjit.

have you load tested batteries? if not start there.....if they are ok then go to solenoid try jumping it and see if cart runs normal......not reagan solenoid but master.........................................

I can't load test batteries tonight as I have to get a load tester, but I did jump the selonoid with no change. With cart in the air, the wheels will turn continuously at a very low speed. I only saw one selonoid underneath the cart, so that is the one I jumped. Is that the correct selonoid? is there one under the dash? Thank-you.

my 09 presedent did the same thing,i smacked the soleoid with a screwdriver and got it unstuck and it works for now but im gettin a new 400 amper soon,mine would move about 10 feet and stop,then it would want to move but stop again,i couldnt hear the solenoid clickin until i wacked it a couple of times,hope this helped......jay

we just need to eliminate batteries cause if you have one dropping under load its still gonna act up with solenoid jumped so when you can load test them to at least eliminate them......................................

The 2001 Regen2 only has 1 solenoid. Dynamic Braking solenoid was trashed in mid 2000

david thanks, i got lucky he didn,t do any damage i,m really sorry i shouldn,t have told you to jump solenoid ( bad idea ) problem was i paid no attention to reagan-2 only reagan............i do apoligize i wasn,t trying to lead you astray............................................ ..

Regen 1 cars are the same way..... Any car without a pre-charge resistor can not be jumped. They only want voltage when the controller requests it. The IQ and Excel cars however, can be jumped across the solenoid as they have pre-charge resistors.

The early Regen1 cars????? I've honestly never tried. But every time a co-worker of mine attempts it it never ends well. It shoots sparks everywhere and we end up converting to IQ
