I am beyond livid and seeing red now.
Ive just realized I bought a chinese counterfeited piece of crap 400a solenoid from Amazon that has now smoked not one, but TWO motor controllers.
Apparented its dead shorted inside and likely killed the 1268 controller when first connected. I was running perfectly fine after switching to a stock solenoid and 1510 controller. Today I figured I would throw the big solenoid in it with the 1510 controller just for so. Figured new parts are better than old parts. Well. I was wrong. Now I have a dead cart and two smoked controllers from this chinese piece of crap solenoid. Im so effin pi$$ed right now I cant see straight. |

This should be a sticky, can't count the times this has happened. Always try to find what you need from site sponsor.

Re: I am beyond livid and seeing red now.
Yeah I have had Chinese crap take a dump on me too.
However, I don't think that is what burnt up 2 controllers. I don't see how a shorted solenoid can do that. |

I cannot verify the 1268 failure because i never saw it run in the first place... however... its certainly suspicious because symptoms were identical. This was a textbook install with the 1510 box. Trust me. Its not that complicated to swap a solenoid. The 1510 controller worked prior to connecting this 400a solenoid. Now it doesnt work at all. kaput. Not even with the stock solenoid. I assume there is a dead short in the solenoid that fried whatever output drivers/relays turn it on from the controller. |

Re: I am beyond livid and seeing red now.
Site sponsors are so important on here. The only guaranteed way to get quality parts. I never get golf cart parts on Amazon.

P.S. I am familiar with the complications and difficulties associated with removing and installing a solenoid. |

Re: I am beyond livid and seeing red now.
Unfortunately those are pretty advanced controllers that control everything, including the solenoid control. A shorted solenoid will certainly take out one of those controllers.
Had the same problem on a 2013 Cushman. Bad solenoid driver in a Curtis Sepex controller. Had to replace the whole thing. Alltrax makes a really easy harness adapter kit to use a G-19 controller. Very well worth it! |
