Cart wont move, solenoid not clicking
So recently cart was running fine. Then I got in it to go for a ride to pick my daughter up from school and nothing. Ran fine in the morning, and wouldn't move that afternoon.
No solenoid clicking. Common solutions? Best place to start? |

Re: Cart wont move, solenoid not clicking
Sounds like the activation circuit has issues. Or someone flipped it to Tow.. One common problem is the safety reed switch failing in the charger socket. First, flip the Run/Tow switch to Tow. There is a small red wire that comes off the back of the charger socket. Put a VOM + on this and the - of the meter to the back passenger side battery - terminal. Should see 36+ volts. If so, find that same red wire on the passenger side in front of the controller cover and do the same test here. If you have voltage you will have to dive into the controller box.

Re: Cart wont move, solenoid not clicking
There is a MOLEX plug from the throttle box to the wiring harness. Might want to unplug and replug that. Mine occasionally needs this, and it seems to be the "weak link", as far as connectors.

Re: Cart wont move, solenoid not clicking
Generally speaking of course :
Solenoid test is done with the resistor removed from one large terminal. You should always have pack voltage (+) on the side connected to the batteries. When the small terminals have (+) and (-) to them the solenoid should CLICK and pack voltage should be present at both large terminals. If no, the solenoid has failed. If (+) and (-) are not present at the small terminals when the pedal is pressed, a problem exists within the solenoid activation circuit. This circuit consists of a series of switches and is easily traced using the solenoid activation circuit diagrams available on the forum. The switches are activated in this order: Reed switch – F&R micro switch(ms) – key switch – Foot or pedal box switch. All of these switches must work before the (+) side of the solenoid activation is delivered to one of the small posts (red wire) |

Ran solenoid test and it passed. Clicking but no movement. Have an altrax npx controller and led flashes and then stays solid when pedal pressed.

Re: Cart wont move, solenoid not clicking
Found the problem, green wire from fnr to the connection near controller had bad connection. Still don't know why solenoid would have stopped activating.
