96 no go
I have a 96 ezgo non dcs I haven't been able to get to run yet. I have checked many things on this cart and am using the Ezgo factory manual to trouble shoot it.
I have new batteries, a "good used" controller, a new ITS, all the micro switches work, tested continuity on control wires. I'm at the point where, if you jump battery voltage across the solenoid, the cart runs in forward and reverse, and speeds up and slows down with the foot throttle. Without the jumper there is nothing. I keep stopping in the diagnostic tree at the ITS. I had two used ones, and bought a new one and they all fail the test the same way. They show 13.8v when they should be 14-15, and when the 4pin connnector is disconnected the voltage goes to 14.1v. Has anyone ever ran into this ? |

Re: 96 no go
Test the solenoid activation circuit 2
There should be 36v at both ends of every red line when the key on, in gear, pedal down. |

Re: 96 no go
I thought I had tested the solenoid out on the bench. Anyhow, I printed out the diagram, and going to the shop for a while.
Thanks guys |

Re: 96 no go
Does the solenoid click when you press the pedal? A good place to test the solenoid is in the cart that won't move and a good place to start basic troubleshooting by making some simple voltage tests before you tear the cart apart. Guessing what the problem may be using a helter-skelter approach replacing components first can cost $'s, waste time and not fix problem.

Re: 96 no go
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. With the diagram above in hand, I discovered there was no wire from B+ to neutral microswitch. Huh!
Put a wire in, cleaned cart off to test run, and still wouldn't run. After another hour I found a intermittent connection on the 4pin connector to ITS. Wired around that plug and the cart runs! Whew! Now I'm wondering how many parts I had on the cart that were good parts that got swapped out. |
