Motor won't run

[tkinche106]

I am lousy with electricity....but I reinstalled my motor in my 96 Club Car
today after replacing the guide ring. On the top of the motor as you face
the motor (standing at the front of the cart at the headlights facing the rear
of the cart, the tailights) there is a left terminal with a green wire and a right
terminal with a orange wire. At the bottom of the motor there is a left terminal with a white wire and a right terminal with a blue wire.
Hope this helps.

Try one of these schematics to check your wiring.

Checked wiring diagrams, not sure which one is for the cart, I only have one solenoid the cart has a forward and reverse switch....does that mean there should be two solenoids?..
On the speed controller I was getting 50 volts on both terminals on the back...that should not be right?...I had a yellow wire with power on it but I believe the black is suppose to go to the main battery...so I remover speed controller and had a short from b+ to b- so does this mean bad speed controller???...I also put 50 volts direct to motor and motor turned..any help would be great....getting frustrated....lol. Thanks in advance..

It is very possible you fried the controller, they do not like sparks.

I think u r right, the controller is a ge 220 amp, what should that be replaced with and what's the best place to order one?...thanks

[Ultimatepoirier]

Also diode has broke off solenoid...I have to replace speed controller but will cart run at all with out that diode? If not does any have any info on that diode?,, thanks again

Get a diode for the solenoid, try golf cart king as I think they had a pretty good listing for diodes and resistors.

I would probably just get an upgraded controller at this point, say a 400 amp alltrax AXE, or search for a direct Curtis replacement. At least upgrading will allow a motor upgrade if you decide to in the future.

What type of diode is it? And will the cart run for testing purposes without it?, the controller u mentioned will fit, it doesn't ave to be exact match correct? As long as it says it will work I guess, thanks

[Ultimatepoirier]

Also I'm in Canada, it is hard to get some of that stuff shipped here...so I hope if I know what type of diode it is I can buy it locally...thanks

Go here, I think you have a 200 amp contactor so probably the 1 amp diode would work. You could also get a controller from these guys as well. They are great to work with and fast turn time. They ship worldwide and can do DHL delivery international 2-3 days.
