Need Help With Solenoid Issue
Have a 1980 Harley 36 Volt MGIV . My problem is the " B " [ 6 Volt ] solenoid does not activate every time I push the peddle . When it dosent , if I very lightly tap the top of it , it will energize and work . I have already installed a new solenoid , checked all the battery's charge , cleaned and checked for loose / broken connections & wires . I have run out of ideas , anyone have one to try ?

Re: Need Help With Solenoid Issue
Just an update on my problem I had , in case anyone else has a similar problem . After checking and rechecking all my connections / retesting all the switches / solenoids & ect . ,I still kept coming back to the " B " 6 volt solenoid I first replaced . So I got another one , this time a better quality one , I hope , than the " made in china " one I first tried . After replacing it again its working , and going again . Time will tell .

Re: Need Help With Solenoid Issue
I'm with you that you hate to jump to the "bad out of the box" conclusion on new part, but it CAN happen. I don't even want to think of how many hours I've spent checking, re-checking then checking again only to find some "new" part was bad. But, at least your up and running now.

Re: Need Help With Solenoid Issue
Most aftermarket stuff for golf carts now a days is garbage.
I know everyone wants to save money, but the aftermarket stuff is not the way to go |

Re: Need Help With Solenoid Issue
The solenoid contact bridge is hanging up - released by a tap. You can contact your supplier for a replacement or open it up and see if you can rectify the problem.
I disagree all aftermarket parts are garbage. There are many levels of quality available... just like when buying a car. There are some very good aftermarket products available, you just have to pay a little more for them. |

Re: Need Help With Solenoid Issue
Curious where did you buy the "better" solenoid from. Also wondering what the part number are for 6 volt and 12 volt solenoids. I have a 81 electric MGIV and need a new 12v solenoid but have been getting conflicting information about best replacement.
