2003 Exgo TXT series cart won't move

moaction · 11-02-2013, 08:29 PM

36v Ezgo TXT series cart. Got good voltage on the battery pack and each battery if putting out 6.7v. Solenoid clicks when pressing the pedal but I don't see any draw on the pack when I press the pedal. Checked controller and I getting the correct reading there and on the F/R switch.

Getting voltage on the motor connecters but I don't know if I getting the right results.

How do I test the solenoid?

Help please!!!!

I mean do I test the solenoid?

seeing as you can here the solenoid click, you have an issue in the solenoid activation circut.....here is a highlighted drawing of that circut.

I tested the motor and checked all the connections. All voltages where in spec. I bypassed the reed switch at the charger connection. Still not running. I tested voltage between M- and B- on the controller and then the cart starting working????? Loose connection or what???? I didn't even tighten a nut. Only nuts I tightened where on the batteries.

That could be all it took....its one of the reason to take apart each connection one at a time and clean them, and put some dielectric lube on them to keep corrosion away.

Thanks Sir Nuke. Owning a golf cart has been a real learning process.

Since you see no draw when the solenoid clicks the controller may not be getting operating power at pins 9 + 10 or the F&R may not be passing hig amperage current. Check the controller output across terminal B- and M- when the solenoid clicks you should read full pack voltage and as you press the gas the reading should drop to near 0.
