e-z-go solenoid clicks sometimes

foolycooly_mad · 12-12-2008, 10:02 PM

can some one help. i have a ez-go electric golf cart. i think its a solenoid. it doesnt click always. sometimes when i turn it off and turn it right back on, it clicks once. i jumpered it. and it clicked well. the wheels didnt spin tho. but i dont know if it would be the microswitch from this problem or not also.

i have a older one. electric.... i guess there is only one solenoid. im tring to find out about it for the job i have. so i dont know all the info for it. 36v. a co-worker tried to switch the batteries for it. cause it was a bit slow. and the other batteries were worse. so he put the first ones back in. and now its doing this.

Ok, so if I'm understanding correctly.

The cart worked fine but was a little slow.....so "your co-worker" put another set of batterie in it and it went even slower so he put the originals back in.....and now it won't run?

yep, thats what happened.

roady89 · 12-12-2008, 10:27 PM

The batteries are not wired correctly.

now, i guess a while back someone spray painted the posts. i guess so they would not corrode. so maybe we are not getting the right connection. im going to go and try taking them off and on again. now it is clicking once when i turn it off and on again. is it just not getting the power from the batteries that it should. would that make that happen?

You need to stop before you fry something, find out what you have and then get a wiring schematic.
