How to test a series motor?

[wickedridesinc]

Also when testing the solenoid. ..will it read positive voltage before it clicks if the diode/resistor is hooked up?
When I unhook that the solenoid works fine. No voltage and hit pedal and 37 volts

motor test



test solenoid

Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. remove all wires, restorer , and diode from solenoid
test 1
Connect an volt meter, set on continuity, place on the two large terminal studs. The meter should indicate no continuity, Replace the solenoid if continuity is present.
test 2
Using jumper wires attach from main positive and main negative of battery pack to the two small solenoid studs, polarity is not important. You should hear a click as the solenoid engages, and the meter should indicate continuity on the two large terminals. Replace the solenoid if continuity is not present.
if solenoid clicks rapidly solenoid is bad

diode/resistor is hooked up?

resistor supply's small amount of power to controller
diode In electronics, a diode is a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric conductance; it has low (ideally zero) resistance to current in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other.

Thanx
Got it fixed

Good to know thanks
