EZGO Solenoid

[drstat]

Ok, This may sound stupid, however,
I have a 2003 EZGO TXT PDS. No Solenoid click. I have tested all voltages as mentioned here on forums, and ordered a solenoid to replace bad one.
Question:
The blue and yellow wire coming from the small terminals, does it matter where they go?
How do I know which small terminal is positive?

According to wiring diagram; blue is - and yellow is +, however in service manual, the photo shows just opposite of how mine is wired. blue on Right and yellow on left.

I have included a photo of how it looks prior to me removing anything. I do not want to damage the new Solenoid!

Thanks for the help!

Yellow is positive power to the solenoid. Blue goes to the controller and grounds the solenoid to activate it. It doesn't matter which terminals on the solenoid they go to. Whatever fits your harness the most comfortably. The solenoid isn't polarity sensitive and will work equally well either way.

Solenoid not clicking doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. You can have a bad micro-switch in the pedal box beneath the floor mat, or a bad ITS giving an out of range reading will prevent the controller from activating the solenoid. Or a bad key switch or wiring.

There has to be battery pack voltage (at least 38.2V when fully charged) on all the wires highlighted in red on the attached PDS schematic.

Also attached is a drawing showing the solenoid activation voltage paths through the PDS controller and a picture with Pin-1 highlighted on the jacks.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the fast help! I will test ITS today. I am looking over PDF documentation now. I did change Micro switch, it was dead.

Cart been running fine, plugged in to charge overnight, next morning went to use it and there was a electrical pop under seat. Batteries are bout 6 months old. I will use this information and trouble shoot more in depth.
Thanks!

Sooo... new solenoid did not work. I’ve checked all voltages, per sites recommendations and have come to
Conclusion it’s a bad controller. My question, if I put new controller and motor has short will it ruin controller? Is there a way to test motor? Thanks!

Deleted what I had posted here. I backed up and read you had already done what I suggested. Sorry. sepex motor test ... Diagram shows testing with 3 six volt batteries, but if you have a 12 volt handy it will run the motor for test also. Don't try to test with all 36 .
