solenoid help

[missmichelle]

Thanks everybody for the help on wiring the solenoids . but now i have another problem, i finally got my solenoids wired right but the cart still wont move . all the solenoids do is chatter they never stop unless off the gas . what is your guys opinion of whats wrong?? Also is there anyway to check the solenoids to see if they are bad?

Typically you will hear a solenoid 'click' when the contacts close or open...on and off.
If you hear them chatter ( and I never have?) then possibly they are opening and closing in rapid succession ? New one on me. Maybe one of the experts can advise? It doesn't sound like they are wired right to me?

low voltage solinoid closes, draws the volt to a point not enough to keep energised you profit you scot

[scottyb]

SO what you are saying Dooms is this could be a low voltage side effect?

[DOOmsman]

Yes remember when the battery in your first junker went almost dead it would just go click click click real fast

I know they are wired right i have a wiring diagram, and another thing i checked my batterys and they have 29 volts out of 36 , i was thinking maybe fuse blown??

[DOOmsman]

29 is dead go dog knows what they should be I'm a gas cart man

[missmichelle]

Well i figured 29 volts out of 36volts should at least move the cart i mean thats at least 80 percent charged? but i dont know?

wait for a sparkie guy they know about these things they will hook you up to a link about AMPHOURS
