Re: Need help with new solenoid
The day I need help getting across the street will be the day all 7 of my golf carts won't go
You are correct about switching it back but those batteries could be costly? What solenoid do you have? Does it have a resistor across the 2 big posts and a diode across the 2 small posts? |

Not worried about the cost of the batteries. My 8v batteries are brand new and the store will exchange for me (only had them for 2 weeks - never used until this morning). I am really ignorant about type of solenoid. Here's a picture: |

Re: Need help with new solenoid
That looks like the original .... Just put it back in there is no polarity on it .... doesn't matter which of the 2 small terminals are negative or positive.
Nevermind the resistor and diode I forgot you don't have a controller to protect.... |

I never took any of it as an insult. Don't worry about it, Mark. Thought I'd report that I got a new 36v solenoid and a new set of 6v batteries. I actually saved money (nearly $100.) because I swapped out those 8v batteries. |

Re: Need help with new solenoid
It works!! Changed out the solenoid and put in 6v batteries.
Works! I kept the back cover off so I could check on the resistor after driving it on the property. It didn't get red-hot like yesterday. My controller board looks great, acts great. YAY!! Thanks again for all your help. |
