I need some help!!!

lukysclub · 04-06-2010, 03:37 PM

Hi all,

I have a 1987 Club Car electric 36v. It was running fine and even replaced one solenoid and two resistors. Then I let it sit for awhile (couple of month or so) and now nothing!

It won't start. I even had two new batteries, still nothing. I also tried to swap the new solenoid to see if one was bad. No change. i'm stuck. I need help and advice.

Thanks,

Chuck

Welcome

do you know how old the batteries are??

do you have a meter, can you take the volt reading from the battery pack and post it here, and a reading from each battery--

I will check them tongiht put the findings here. But i do know that are new.

When you get time post the volts, and check all the cables make sure all clean and tight--do you hear a click when you push the pedal

Yes, i can hear the clicking for the speed switches. When i turn the key to start i get nothing. Not even a sound.

If you hear the clicking from the speed switches, but not the louder click from the solenoids, your not get power back to where it needs to be. Check the connections around your f/r switch and small solenoid wires as well.

A Pack voltage of 36 - 39 volts is needed .... The solenoid closest to the driver's side is the master. It must click first when you begin pressing the peddle, or the cart will not go at all.
