1mph forward and reverse

TahoeDawgZ71 · 12-14-2015, 10:55 AM

Something has to be wired wrong or there is a problem with the motor or solenoid.

How can I check the solenoid? I retraced all the wires to make sure they were right (they were) but I'll double check all connections to ensure they are snug.

I'm not sure if it would be an issue but about 1/4 inch of the second resistor post in the vglide broke so instead of it going "nut-lug-nut" it goes "lug-nut" (I removed the back nut).

The cart is behaving like the cable from the solenoid is not connected to the wiper arm of the V-Glide.

Starting from the Top pad of the V-Glide you should have 5 cables.

The first 3 pads on the bottom do not have any cables.

The pass-through wiper bolt has 2 cables on the outside and the wiper arm wire on the inside.

Thanks guys. To put it simple I'm an idiot... I had connected the the two cables that go to the wiper arm on the first pad. I guess I got too excited and since its recessed I didn't see it behind all the new 4awg cables. It's running at 15mph (pretty good for a toaster cart). Next project will be new tires. What are the largest I can go with the 8" rims (planning on using Sahara classics)?
