E-Z-GO Solenoid buzzing in reverse
I have a 80's model E-Z-GO 3 wheel cart. Last week I noticed the resistor coil getting red hot ( burning ) and the cart started making a clicking noise when turned on. I replaced all the batteries and battery cables. Replaced the solenoid and now the cart is in fine forward but makes a buzzing sound in reverse, even when the cart is turned off.
Plus, when the key is turned on the cart is in forward nothing happens when the pedal is compressed. I checked to make sure my micro switch was connecting. Any idea what the problem could be? |

Re: E-Z-GO Solenoid buzzing in reverse
Welcome to BGW
sounds like a lot of new parts, but did you ever change or rebuild the forward/reverse switch? it could be sparking in reverse. |

I have not tried replacing that switch. It looks fine, I'll order the switch and see if that works. Thanks.

Re: E-Z-GO Solenoid buzzing in reverse
How about the wiper board, is the studs clean and and tight? need to check the coils to, make sure that they are not touching each other and that none are broken. You said you replaced the solenoid, did you get a solenoid for a golf cart? or did you buy it at the auto parts store,

All the studs are tight. I have not cleaned them. I got the solenoid off-line. It's the exact same model the cart originally ran with.

Re: E-Z-GO Solenoid buzzing in reverse
It never buzzed before and it sounds like the buzzing is coming from the solenoid. I'm pretty sure there isn't a reverse buzzer on a cart this old, but I could be wrong. How would I check to see if it's the buzzer?
Thanks for the help |

Solenoid could be a bad one it happens, did the old solenoid work? if so switch them and see if the noise is still there.

Re: E-Z-GO Solenoid buzzing in reverse
I cleaned the switches. And replaced the wires to the solenoid. Cart drives fine front and reverse. The buzzing still happens when I put the cart in reverse, but when I press the pedal the buzzing stops.
Should I be concerned about the buzzing or just let it go? |
