1995 G14E Diode Question

[Pa20297]

I purchased a service manual for my cart, doesn't run only clicks (has new batteries 6-6V), as I went down the check list all checks out till step 3 Diodes, no continuity through either A or B, bought new ones when i check them right out the box no continuity, used second meter to be sure? still nothing, am I doing something wrong? is there another way to check? - Pete

PS, I skipped this step and check other issues, found that the throttle sensor was toast as well so I got a new one, but cart still doesn't run

Here is a video, Hope it helps.

Dewzer - Huge help, My diodes are different than in the video, but shouldn't matter, my issue is (going by the service manual for pos & neg direction and the (+) stamped on one terminal) I read OL on the meter, if I reverse and put the Neg lead on the (+) stamped terminal I get 523 on the meter, so this is backwards from what the video shows, I've attached photos of my new Diodes

Those diodes are functioning as intended, that is not the problem.....and the hunt continues...

Ya know what, I just grabed that video out of the blue and even durring it I thought it wrong. The Pos should be the silver lined side. I am going to have to pull a book and check that. It has had me wondering for a while now.
Did you test the solenoid?

[Pa20297]

Yes the Solenoid is working. putting voltage to the small terminal, the solenoid clicks and there is continuity across wherwe there was none before the jumper, also with the Batts conected the voltage goes across the large lugs when the small ones are jumped. I did find the throttle sensor was not working according to the service manual so I have a new one coming don't know if that is my issue of the cart not running? guess I'll keep plugging along any other help is appreciated - Pete
