90 ezgo volts confirmation
I knuckled down and read scotty stickys and i think im moving forward , 90 ezgo textron solid state is what i got here , the solenoid dont click but the micro switch does the one mounted to the pot box. battery voltage was 37 2 on the batteries, the voltage from ground to the controller side of the solonoid is 37 2 but the voltage to the battery side of the solonoid is 26 3 , i tried ground to a couple of terminals on the controller is also 26 3 i say i have a faulty solonoid the key was on and it was in forward also can anyone confirm

Re: 90 ezgo volts confirmation
Maybe, but you NEED to charge your batteries! 37.2 is only 75% charged and they are destroying themselves. Full charge is 38.2.
Good luck. |

Re: 90 ezgo volts confirmation
theres gotta be something wrong here then i chargerd them yesterdAY when the chargerkicked off after 10 to 15 minutes i read the volts and they said 38 2 ive been fooling aroung with the cart key on and off trying different things to get it running but the cart never went anywhere i better go up to the stickys again somethin dont seem right anyone wanna trade for a gas one lol

Re: 90 ezgo volts confirmation
Are you measuring voltage from your main battery pack -? How can you have full pack voltage on the controller side of the solenoid and not on the battery pack side of the solenoid? There is just a cable going straight from the pack + to the solenoid correct?

Re: 90 ezgo volts confirmation
Sounds like you've got a 1990 Marathon Controller cart.
Hopefully, when you say "ground" you are referring to B- since the frames of electric golf carts should not be connected to the battery pack in any way, shape or form. Here is a diagram showing where to attach negative DVM test lead, unless otherwise stipulated. You didn't mention how long after the charger automatically shut off that the pack voltage was 38.2, but if it was within an hour or so thereafter, you've got some battery issues. There charger shuts off in the 44V-46V range and it takes several hours for the "surface charge" to deplete, so good batteries read higher than 38.2 for at least 6-8 hours after charger shuts off. Until you get the solenoid to click when throttle pedal is pushed (with Key On and F or R selected), measuring voltage at battery side and controller side of solenoid contacts is more or less meaningless. Here's a schematic with the solenoid activation circuit traced. It is only three switches, a few pieces of wire and a solenoid coil in series, and all are under the seat, so it's easy to troubleshoot. Get the solenoid clicking as it should and the go after the problems, if any, in the high current circuit. Also, what are the individual battery voltages? |

Re: 90 ezgo volts confirmation
I went and looked at it your right the controller side of the solonoid has cable from the post to the + on the battery, the other side has a cable from the solenoid to the controller I was just referring to a sticky were scotty addressed how to measure voltage in the diagnostic section one side has battery pack voltage the other sould have battery pack voltage plus 0.1 to 0.3 voltage higher . if it was under it calls to replace the solonoid

Re: 90 ezgo volts confirmation
Parts of that stickie are hard to read. It has served us for a couple of years but it needs to be re done ... It is best to remove the resistor to check the solenoid, but you are getting ahead of yourself, follow the solenoid activation chart in Johnie's post and see where your power stops.
