91 EZGO is a NO GO
I have a 91 Marathon 36v Series cart. I drove it in to the garage to put a lift kit on it and when I went to move it I get the Solenoid Click no go issue.
I followed the trouble shooting guide found here: https://www.cartsunlimited.net/ezgo-...eshooting.html Everything checks out EXCEPT that I had -36v present on the small black solenoid terminal with the GO pedal up. I them reinstalled the resistor and went on to test the controller. I have 20.3 volts present between the M- and B- terminals with the GO pedal up and full pack voltage when I push the pedal. I also tested the accelerator signal. I get 220 ohms when the GO pedal is up, 2700 ohms when at wide open throttle. Thoughts? It is driving me crazy because I drove the cart in and a day later, click no go. Thanks in advance. |

With negative test lead on B- and positive test lead on M-, you should get full battery pack voltage when pedal is pushed just far enough to make solenoid click and it should decrease to 0V as pedal is pushed to floor, however with pot only going up to 2700Ω, you'll probably should only get about 1/2 of the pack voltage. If you don't get full pack voltage when the solenoid first clicks, use the positive test lead to find it. The attached schematic has the high amp circuit highlighted. |

---------------- There is also a run switch (MS-2) on the F/R switch assemble that forwards B+ to the pedal switch (MS-3) and to the blue wire that powers up the controller. The solenoid clicks, so we know MS-2 id sending B+ to the pedal switch, but we don't know if the controller is being powered up. Check for pack voltage at the controller on the blue wire when a direction is selected. |

Here's the throttle circuit traced with MS-4 open and closed.

Re: 91 EZGO is a NO GO
MS4 was a double MS. Half of it was only to engage the back up alarm. It was gone when I got the cart. The roller arm on the reverse side of the switch was bent and constantly depressed. I replaced it with a single switch and spacers provided to me by the local golf cart dealer who confirmed that the double switch was not necessary as I no longer had a backup alarm. I installed the new switch exactly how the old one was installed minus the leads to the back up alarm.
According to this diagram it is wired correctly |
