1998 EZ GO Electric TXT

Have the above EZ Go, customer hit a bump and stopped working. They replaced the solenoid, which made a clicking sound then nothing. I found a loose cable on a battery post that was melted a little. We have 38Volts on the batteries but machine doesn't move. Looking for a wire diagram to make sure they hooked all wires up correctly and some assistance on what to look for.

Look in the sticky section above for wiring diagrams.

I have the wire diagram and everything is connected correctly. When I jump accross the solenoid to the red wires, the solenoid/unit runs like it should except it is always on even with the key is off

Check the micro switch in the peddle box.... is it getting power in and power out?

[ganderson79]

No power to the foot switch

Check the key switch

Use this as a guide for the power: Trace what you have until you find where you are losing power.

Txt solenoid activation
power starts on the white wire on the 36+ of the battery pack.
Power travels to the charger receptacle, goes through a reed switch inside the receptacle and comes out on the red 12 gauge red wire. ( check for power here, 1st!)
the red wire travels back through the loom to the forward and reverse switch where it attaches to a micro.
The other side of that micro has a blue wire attached that runs under the cart to the front and arrives at the keyswitch.
The keyswitch then transfers power to a green wire which returns to the area of the forward and reverse switch.
The power then goes through a 4 pin molex connector and travels to the "pedal box" (located under the floorboard of the car) where it goes through a micro and comes out on another red wire.
That red wire comes back up to the controller/f&r area where it once again goes through the 4 pin molex connector and continues on to the small post of the solenoid.

They way you laid this out is AWESOME! I have worked on many machines and you made this very easy! I checked at the reed switch and no power coming out of it! I ran a jumper accross the white to the red and the solenoid get activated. I will replace the reed switch.
Many thanks!

just bypass the reed switch. When you charge it in the future, loop the charger cord through the steering wheel.
