Do all your testing with a meter or your pack. Only do it with the cart jacked up so one or both wheels are off the ground for your own protection.

If you want to see if it is activating, listen for the click (closure) then with your meter, check the top big post on the controller side for voltage after it closes. You should have Pack voltage or basically the same thing you have on the other big post before it closed in. (With a precharge resistor you will have 1 to 1.5 volts less on the controller side post and then it will have full pack voltage after is closes in)

Glad to see somebody else say this. The days of jumper wire testing are over. Todays cart are modern electronic and computer machines. Even the tiniest spark that you can't see will destroy something. Put a jumper in the wrong spot and watch $500 or more go down the toilet. Thank you.

And more importantly is if jumped or hooked up incorrectly, the explosion can be catastrophic. I should have taken pictures, but twice I have had someone hook jumper cables up incorrectly and the results were blown battery tops and/or a shorted alternator....
