‘04 EZGO TXT will not run
I have recently bought a golf cart from an estate sale. The cart did not run and the owner told me that it needs new batteries...so I bought brand new batteries and it will not run. It powers on but will not run. There was not a “click”of the solenoid and the old one looked banged up so I bought a new one, hooked everything up to the new solenoid and still nothing. I called a local EZGO dealer and they told me the forward/reverse switch typically is the problem with those models so I bought a new forward/reverse switch—hooked everything back up and....nothing. But Now when I turn the key, the battery meter by the key will only turn on if it’s in reverse. If I put it in forward the meter goes blank....could be a wiring issue. But I’ve been doing more research and it looks like a faulty reed switch could be the issue...can anybody confirm or if anybody has had some of the same issues—what did you do to fix the golf cart??

Re: ‘04 EZGO TXT will not run
If the meter comes on it probably isn’t the reed switch. What cart is this ? Series with the shifter by your leg or fnr switch in the dash?

Here’s a diagram with the activation circuit highlighted

Re: ‘04 EZGO TXT will not run
I’ve completely ran all the wires correctly from the diagram above and I’m still not getting anything. No clicks at the solenoid when I turn the key. I have power in forward (per the battery meter) but as soon as I put it in reverse the power shuts off (per battery meter) but still does not run.

Put your volt meter negative on pack negative and then with the positive lead of your meter chase the above diagram for your failure.

Re: ‘04 EZGO TXT will not run
I've figured out the issue (kinda)...It was the accelerator micro switch that was busted up. Replaced and hooked all wires back up and got the golf cart to go forward but will not go in reverse. Switched S1 and S2 at the motor and it would go in reverse and not forward. Controller maybe?? hope there is another (cheap) fix like the micro switch LOL

Re: ‘04 EZGO TXT will not run
Controller does not know forward or reverse on this cart. That is all done with the FnR switch. Does the solenoid click in reverse? If not look at your new switch..
