Dead '83? 36-volt electric club car
I have an electric club car, the only identification is A8321 46148. Judging by what I've read so far it may be a 1983 model. It has the v-glide wiper switch and no solenoids for the resistors for the motor. I have left the wiring as I have found them but get no response forward or backwards from the motor. I need help verifying the hookup of the forward/reverse switch and the motor.I have power and ground to the solenoid, can't hear contact. Get buzzer when in reverse but no movement.

Re: Dead '83? 36-volt electric club car
trace the small wires backwards they should lead to a micro switch..................or find your wiring diagram in the stickies, sorry i wasn,t thinking tired......even if the micro is bad jumping the large post should work.......see if you can find the wiring diagram its been a long time since i messed with that setup..........................

Re: Dead '83? 36-volt electric club car
In forward and in reverse on the yellow wire from the solenoid I have continuity back to the batterys and when I press the pedal I have 34 volts on the green wire. I believe the solenoid is dead but when I bypassed it nothing happened.

Re: Dead '83? 36-volt electric club car
I found a diagram but the wire colors are not identified and it is not laid out as a schematic nor are the terminals. I found a diagram for replacing the direction switch. The problem I have is on the forward/reverse switch the red wire off the motor, the positive from the battery and a "half throttle feed" from the battery, plus the jumper between the bottom two terminals on the direction switch.

Re: Dead '83? 36-volt electric club car
They were all pretty much the same for 10-15 years. The 2 bottom Positive main feeds were forward and reverse Positive. 36v on the passenger side and 18v on the driver's side. Silly really. that is why you will often find a jumper across the bottom terminals feeding 36v to both directions... hope that and this diagram help.

Re: Dead '83? 36-volt electric club car
36v is a must. 30 amp is pretty low, can you find a 50-70 amp unit.

Thanks for the help, both scottyb and shadowman I now have movement slow due to low batteries but movement.
