Ezgo Not Moving

[csmdew]

The other day i drove my ezgo series cart down the street and then it would not move when ready to come home. After pushing cart (no help) turning key off/on then the cart starts to move again. Drove cart home and put on charger as always and a few days later when I go to use cart with full charge it doesn't move (also in hurry) so grabbed my other cart and took off. About 4 hours later I jumped into this cart again and it takes off as though nothing was wrong with it. Anyone think maybe it may be a solenoid going bad. Have HD solenoid, hd switch F/R, 4ga cables, 400 alltrex, and 10 month old batteries in 2002 txt cart.
Possible ideas, thanks.

throttler position switch

next time, turn cart off, stomp go pedal up and down about 20x , try cart , if it goes it is the tps going

Mmmmm, Might work on a Club Car. He has an EZGO.

Stomping on the pedal is what I had been doing for several months, some times move then sometimes didn't. Now don't go at all. Any way to test a tps (got a few), thanks.

well it works on club car

my bad

With the key switch ON - Forward direction selected - Push the Accelerator pedal just enough to activate the solenoid.
Install a "jumper wire" between the batteries BL+ post and the solenoid post with red wires attached.
AT THE SIX PIN CONNECTOR OF THE CONTROLLER
Place the (+) probe on the red wire terminal of the connector.
If battery voltage is not present, the red wire between the solenoid and the six pin connector is faulty.
Place the (+) probe on the black wire terminal of the connector.
The reading should be slightly above 14 volts but less than 15 volts. If the voltage is not correct, the Throttle Sensor MAY be faulty.
Separate the 6 pin connector (only 4 are used) between the pedal box and the controller that's located on the passenger's side of the battery compartment.
If the voltage goes to 14 volts, the sensor is faulty.
If the voltage remains below 14 volts, the controller is faulty.
RECONNECT the 6 pin connector.
Place the (+) probe on the white wire terminal of the six pin connector.
Depress the pedal slowly. The reading should be 0.45 - 0.53 volts just as the micro-switch is activated.
Depress the pedal slowly to full throttle.
As you depress the peddle the reading should move smoothly to about 1.5 volts.
If the reading is incorrect, The Throttle Sensor is defective.
REMOVE THE JUMPER WIRE AND (-) PROBE
CHECKING CONTROLLER OUTPUT Connect (-) probe to M- terminal.
Connect (+) probe to B+ terminal.
The reading should indicate approx. 0 volts.
Slowly depress accelerator pedal.
The reading should show the voltage increasing to battery voltage when fully depressed. If the voltage is at or near battery voltage and the motor is not turning, then the problem lies in either the forward/reverse switch, the wiring, or the motor.
If the voltage increases by a few volts and then stops changing while the pedal is being depressed, remove the orange wire at the "Reverse Micro switch".
If the voltage is not at or near battery voltage, replace the controller.
If battery voltage is present, the problem lies in the reverse circuit.
Re-connect the orange wire.

Cart been sitting without me trying to get it to move for several days and now today it moves without any problems; will try its test as soon as possible.

Have HD solenoid, hd switch F/R, 4ga cables, 400 alltrex; all of these are no more than 18mos old.

Not moving today; I have 3 extra its, so is there a way to test off the cart, thanks.

The altrax ITS test says to engage solenoid until clicks and light is on, my light blinks, is that the same as on.

Alltrax should blink 4 green and go solid green if programmed for ITS throttle and powered up.
There is a micro switch in the pedal box that may be failing intermittently. Hitting the gas several times akin to pushing the Bricket lighter on the grill 5-6 times before it catches. lol

Ok, got the solid green, 10v, and full throttle 6v, so it checks out for now but the throttle has worked every since this afternoon. Before I pushed it over to other carport it wasn't working until I started testing and has been going for several hours now. Do you have a pic of the micro switch, I think I know which one it is but not sure and my friend at golf course still has some ezgo parts (gone club car). Will be going over there tomorrow and can look for it or order one if need be, thanks.
