Re: cart works with no key
updated wiring
Blue from key switch to ms2 f/r Green from key switch to 4 way plug going to footswitch Sol - small black to Black J1 Sol + small red to 4 way plug to footswitch Orange to blue J1. to ms4, f/r switch Sol + small red to J1 red J1 green - empty white from charge port to pack + black from charge port to pack - red from charge port to ms2 f/r controller b+ to sol + (awg2 cable) sol + to pack + (awg2 cable) the cables from motor to controller are correct per the diagram. If I read the diagram correctly that should be right. There is another black wire that I think goes from the solenoid to the backup buzzer (?) which I have not connected yet because I need to take the bigger cable off right next to it, to get to it. If that is right then I don't care about the buzzer, it's disconnected on my other cart too. Right now the keyswitch is totally disconnected, cart still runs forward and rev. does that lead me back to a stuck solenoid? I'm still not sure how to test for that. |

Re: cart works with no key
If this one is right. Small sol - goes to controller negative, not controller harness black.

Re: cart works with no key
That one was per the alltrax diagram.

Re: cart works with no key
I got to line 2 and saw this
Blue from key switch to ms2 f/r Green from key switch to 4 way plug going to footswitch Problem is green from KS goes to pedal ms. Pedal ms goes to the 4 wire plug and on to the solenoid. I hope this helps See the activation diagram attached |

Re: cart works with no key
That is what it does. Green goes from the keyswitch to the 4 way plug. Then the plug goes on to pedal Ms. White, black go to controller red to solenoid, green goes on to that footswitch.

Re: cart works with no key
will check my pedal microswitch this afternoon.
after digging I also found this thread https://www.buggiesgonewild.com/showthread.php?t=151588 which suggests rewiring and doing away with that 4 way connector. So I'll probably do that also and run the green straight through. thanks for all the help so far! |

Re: cart works with no key
rewired the molex connector. green is now straight to foot switch. tested that switch and voltage started high, went down to zero while pushing down the accelerator (which I believe is what it is supposed to do). Verified white and black from footswitch to controller, verified red from footswitch to solenoid.
no key switch connected at all. still runs great. any other suggestions? by the way I have been using the alltrax manual, the solenoid circuit diagram above and the wiring diagram in the service manual. The small negative from solenoid used to go to controller - but with alltrax goes to controller black J1. |

Re: cart works with no key
Update. I've been talking to tech support. I pulled the red wire from the foot switch that goes to the solenoid and checked voltage and I had zero voltage. Then I wired everything back up and still had no voltage. My pack voltage is 36.15. pack negative to large solenoid terminal one is 36.15. pack negative to large solenoid terminal 2 is 35.26. back negative to small positive solenoid terminal is zero. Pack positive to small solenoid negative terminal is 36.13. controller will not power on it all. Swapped solenoid made no difference. Does it sound like a dead controller or what?

Re: cart works with no key
I think I got it. First I had no power on the f/r switch. Bypassed Reed switch and that got me pack voltage at Dr. Then checked power at key switch. Had power at blue when off, no power on green. Turned switch on, no power on green. So I ran another wire from switch green straight to pedal switch. Still no power. Went back to my old switch, bang. Got power when switch is on, no power when off. Pressed accelerator, presto. Green light on controller, cart goes forward and backward. So my Reed switch was bad, and apparently the green from key to footswitch has a short in it even though I got continuity. Could also be the new key switch is bad also. This was a pain in my butt but now at least I have a much better understanding of the power activation circuit. So tomorrow I get to run new wire and play with this new switch. 🙂
