96 club car won't run
I have a 96 club car, serial #A9642-536207. I broke it out of the inlaws shed last summer and installed new batteries. Ended up having to buy a new charger as the obc was bad. All was good until about a month ago. Cart would just quit as if it had been turned off. Did this a few times and now won't run at all. Now I turn on the key and hear the solenoid click twice just like I understand it is supposed to. I push the accelerator, the soleniod clicks, and there is a humming noise coming from the motor but nothing happens. I am confused on a couple matters. First of all the solenoid. As I understand it the solenoid is basically a switch. To me that means it should have a open and closed position. Mine appears to be closed all the time when the key is on, meaning I have no real measureable voltage difference between the to big posts. I also have full voltage at the controller when the key is on, is this normal? My second concern is the noise from the motor. It hums and I can feel something happen by touch when the accelerator is pushed. Any help would be appreciated. From the reading I have done these carts are quite the piece of work. Thanks. Terry

Re: 96 club car won't run
Ok...the solenoid appears to be ok and the motor runs off of my lawn mower battery, very slowly, but it does run. the only thing left in the mix is the controller??? it must be at the root of my problem I'm guessing.

Re: 96 club car won't run
hit a little snag...I don't have a B- or a M- on my controller. I have a p(power in), n(main neutral to battery bank), an A1, an A2, a F1 and a F2, all of which hook to their corresponding lugs on the motor.
