1984 Club Car Electrical

[bradleysparty]

I have a 1984 Electric club car and when I turn key on and put contoller in forward the cart goes without pushing down on the accelerator pedal. Does the same thing in reverse. Just replaced all of the solenoids and still have the problem.What's going on?

The cart has a 5 solenoid drive system. There are 5 micro switches in a box at the end of the gas peddle linkage.
2 things have to be happening for this cart to go on it's own when put in gear.
1. The key has to be on or bypassed
2. the first 2 out of 5 micro switches in the peddle box have to be activated (peddle not returning to zero position) or they are bad (always on)
This will activate the master solenoid (closest to the driver side) and the low speed solenoid (next to the master)

Try pulling up on the gas peddle. If that does not fix it then investigate the micro-switch box and the key switch.

......go to the box where micros are theres a white plastic slider in there and they break and go bad so you either have several bad microswitches or the slider is crap................................
