Subby... do me a favor in the future.... when you post, make sure you post your cart as a 1996 E-Z-GO DCS cart...... The DCS part is really important to note......

getting back to your question though, I don't believe there is a safe way to bypass the solenoid on a DCS cart. It has something to do with the Diode/Resistor board that goes from post to post on the solenoid. Don't hold me to it, but I honestly don't think there is a safe way to bypass the solenoid on your cart.

Good point Wabbit

Lets look at the 'solenoid bypass' as a tool of golf cart diagnosis.


I never, never, Did I say NEVER? ! bypass a solenoid in my shop or on my service calls.... period.

Agreed, as I have heard this also. However, the solenoid could be bench tested (disconnected from any cart components) easily enough to prove it is or isn't working. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

You are right, in fact you can test it with a meter and a 14g jumper or two fight in the cart.

Quick clip on stuff.

So, who wants to write up Solenoid Testing For DCS/PDS Carts, post it, and then get it stickied?

i have no problem with jumpering across a solenoid for the purpose of performing a test, but I use a wire with clips on the end that I can yank off in a hurry if things start to go wrong..... that being said, I have a feeling that jumpering a DCS solenoid would lead to lots of smoke..... I know I remember there being something during training about that diode being on that resistor board for a reason, I just for the life of me can't remember what the reason was........
