ezgo pds won't move

Yes if rebooting the control fixes the problem it is an error in the controller.
You might try this for a temporary fix.
Run a wire from battery pack main - to the small solenoid post with the blue wire on it..... if the cart runs go for it, you have bypassed the controller solenoid control circuit.

I appreciate the info.... I went to do it and suprisingly it was working so I've now driven ariund an hour and its still working... if it happens again this weekend I'm gonna do that... when I get back home I'm going to get the problen fixed

So it stopped again... I jumpered like u said and heard the solenoid click but no go.... do u think it could be pedal switch?

I apparently am the only person who's had the problems, but I had similar thing going on. At first, solenoid wouldn't actuate. Kept tinkering & troubleshooting, & got solenoid to click, but no go. Finally figured out I had bad contact in the 10-pin connector at the controller (inside the connector). You might check this on yours.....

I've only had this cart two weeks I'm gonna call where I got it from tomorrow... hopefully they will do something about it

I just wanted to tell everyone I got the problem figured out it was the foot control switch under the floorboard I appreciate everyone's input

Hey JonnieB. I have a 2001 PDS cart that I am having a similar problem with. The solenoid won't activate. I looked at the diagram that you posted earlier and noticed that I have proper voltage on all of the pins on connector J1 except pin number 5. What do you think is the culprit? Faulty controller?

It is better to start a new thread than resurrect a 6YO one, but Pin-5 is an external voltage input to the controller and the controller won't work without it.

Voltage source for Pin-5 is the red wire on the solenoid's battery side large terminal. The wire splits inside the wiring harness and one goes the beeper while the other goes to Pin-5. Trace the red wire and find the split and fix it.

I appreciate the tips. Sorry about resurrecting an old thread.
