Re: Old cart to new owner - trouble shooting
You may have a bad dynamatic solenoid. If it is bad you cart will not have any power because the current is going through the coil on the solenoid. You can hook both large cables on that solenoid to the same post effectively jumping the two together to bypass the solenoid. If you do this test also unhook the speed sensor on the end of the motor to keep it from stopping hard.

Re: Old cart to new owner - trouble shooting
I wonder...while I am musing here...could the cutting out be the microswitch in the fnr switch? when it was stopping (kids are out ripping around right now testing) a click of reverse back to forward worked to make it go again...

Re: Old cart to new owner - trouble shooting
It is the solenoid on the drivers side. Put cart in tow mode unhook negative and positive battery cables. Take cover off that is under the basket. You will see the solenoid on the left side (drivers) remove cable from the left side of the solenoid and put it on the right with the white cable. Unhook speed sensor connector while you are in there. It is on the end of the motor the connector is about 6-8 inches from the motor. Hook everything back up put cart in run. If the solenoid was bad you will see more power as soon as you press the pedal.
I see you got it while I was typing. |

Re: Old cart to new owner - trouble shooting
Turn key off and switch FNR switch back and forward about 20-30 times if that helps you may need a new switch.

Re: Old cart to new owner - trouble shooting
Just know you don't have roll away braking or down hill braking. You can remove the solenoid if you like.

Re: Old cart to new owner - trouble shooting
If you go with the new controller you will be able to get downhill braking back.
