2017 RXV Problems
Hello, My 2017 RXV just stopped. I can hear the solenoid clicking when I turn the key. the buzzer comes on when I put it in reverse. The pedal feels soft now (if that makes any sense) almost like there is something disconnected and a return spring is holding it up. Nothing happens when I press the pedal. My daughter said it just stopped and came to get me. I removed the brake and towed it home. This cart is stock no lift stock curtis controller 20" tires. Does anyone have any advice on where to begin looking for the issue? Thanks.

Re: 2017 RXV Problems
So, I put the brake back on. and tried to go as normal. I noticed it only clicked 2 times when I put in fwd or reverse or neutral. I seem to remember it clicking 3 times. The brake smelled burnt. With a friction brake I would think that is normal. Also, 48v system curtis controller batteries about a year old. Showing 50.2V pack. I had just charged it and she took it out and was mobile for about a mile before she broke down.

Re: 2017 RXV Problems
2 clicks from solenoid means it’s immediately shutting off/safety mode. I had a similar issue recently and it was that I had melted the positive connection into the solenoid. Check your cables into the solenoid and see if anything is loose or no longer connected well.
Did the brake look ok when you took it off? |

Re: 2017 RXV Problems
Thanks, I will check the solenoid. I think it is the brake though. It smells burnt and the center piece is missing on the brake itself and I am pretty sure it is still on the cart. I will check later this afternoon. I attached a pic so you can see what I am talking about. I have been hearing a grinding sound for about a week now. It was the brake making the sound for sure.

I’m not an expert, but that brake looks fine to me.

Re: 2017 RXV Problems
The entire center is not there? I attached a pic of a new one.

Re: 2017 RXV Problems
Also, now that I think about it the brake or something has been messing up. I never had neutral. Like if i put the cart in neutral you would not be able to push it anywhere just locked. Even if I flip the tow switch to tow still locked. I had to remove the entire brake assy to get the cart to roll.

Re: 2017 RXV Problems
The center part stays on the motor. The flip/tow lock is also a symptom of bad solenoid. If it goes into safety the brake auto-locks and doesn’t unlock even in neutral/tow.

Re: 2017 RXV Problems
I inspected the solenoid. It doesn't look fried anywhere are there any tests I can run? I have a voltmeter.

Re: 2017 RXV Problems
You are showing pictures of 2 different brakes. The OEM "standard brake" has the center hub molded in. The OEM HD brake has a hub that's removable. The HD brake does include the hub, but did you get one & install it? The HD brake hub comes pre-installed, so where is it at?
