2008 Ydre Will Not Move

drakesmix · 05-23-2016, 11:20 AM

I have a 2008 YDRE car at the golf course I work at that is being troublesome. It has been running fine all this season and then today wouldn't run. All of our carts are on chargers all night so I came in this morning, unplugged it and it won't budge. When you turn the key the solenoid still clicks and then nothing. We have had some carts in the past work one day and then not the next and this is the first one to do it this year. I started with replacing the solenoid because I had one on hand and it hasn't helped. Any insight would be great.

Probably the controller if the batteries are up (measure voltage) and the solenoid is clicking.

Replaced the controller with one from another cart at it started right away. Thanks.

Good deal! It is nice to have spare parts to try when troubleshooting these things. Especially a controller since it's not easy to tell if one is bad without trying a known good one. If I were fixing these things for a living I would hang onto a known good controller for just that purpose. Most of the other parts are easy to troubleshoot with a good DVM and a little knowhow.

So today I hopped in the cart to move it and nothing again. That's with the known working controller still in it. So now I guess I'm back to square one. We replaced a bunch of batteries a few weeks ago and this cart has them so I'm assuming they are good. I can still check them if need be.

This morning the cart has decided to work again. Could it be some kind of short or ground problem with it being intermittent like this.

Most likely a bad switch or connection. Intermittent failures are the hardest to diagnose.

we have a dozen or so YDRE yamys and as of late they are really popping these Moric controllers #JW2-H6510-20!we had at least 3 go bad in last 3 months,really driving me nuts.I too wish there was a way to bench test?this latest suspect one i put in a known good cart and the selonoid clicked when turning on tow-switch,but no drive or backup alarm?the cart it came out of wouldnt even activate main selonoid?

Could potentially be your stop switch? Next time it doesn't want to go, try stomping on the accelerator a few times and see if one of those times it might catch. If so, then it is most likely the stop switch. If so, check out this thread....
