How do I test a series motor

motor test in cart only

WARNING you don't want to make a big spark anywhere near the battery.

jumper cables may be used
black clip on battery negative,
red clip on motor A1 post, tap the other ends together

ty I tried that and my motor is good. MY solenoid clicks but cart will not run. I upgraded from curtis1207 to spm48400. cart did not run before. I changed the controller. I upgraded all cables to 4g. I have not upgraded the front reverse switch

test solenoid ... just hearing the click does not mean it's working

solenoid test

Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. remove all wires, restorer , and diode from solenoid
test 1
Connect an volt meter, set on continuity, place on the two large terminal studs. The meter should indicate no continuity, Replace the solenoid if continuity is present.
test 2
Using jumper wires attach from main positive and main negative of battery pack to the two small solenoid studs, polarity is not important. You should hear a click as the solenoid engages, and the meter should indicate continuity on the two large terminals. Replace the solenoid if continuity is not present.
if solenoid clicks rapidly solenoid is bad

What's wrong with the spm you already have?

[jdixon0631]

I put the new spm4800 and solenoid on the cart

[jdixon0631]

I wired up with the diagram that came with controllerDOC110-001-D_DWG-SPM-EZGO-TXT-WIRE-DIA.pdf

I have checked every thing on the cart. Cant find anything wrong

I connected DVM to the B- and M- on the controller and pushed the pedal and didnt get full 38.7V. So is sometthing wrong on the high current side
