Re: need help with 2007 pds cart
The resistor has nothing to do with whether the solenoid slicks or not and the system will work with out without the resistor, but the solenoid contacts last longer with it.
The controller supplies both B+ and B- to the solenoid coil and getting it to click is a two step process. First, to get the controller to apply B+ to one side of the solenoid's coil, you have to have the Charger plug disconnected from cart, Run/Tow switch in RUN, Keyswitch ON and F/R switch in either F or R. When those conditions are met, you should have Battery pack voltage on the following: J1 Pins 1, 2 or 3 (R or F), 4, 5, 8 & 9 J3 Pins 1, 2, 3 & 4 If so, you should have B+ on J1 Pin-7. If the solenoid coil is good, you will also measure B+ on J1 Pin-6. Second, The pedal switch has to close, telling the controller to apply B- to J1 Pin-6. With Pedal switch closed, you should have pack voltage on J2 Pins 1 & 2 If so, J1-pin-6 should drop to zero (B-) and the solenoid should click. |

Ouch.
With pack voltage on J1 Pins 4 & 5, you should also have voltage on J3 Pins 1 & 3. The good news is that an Alltrax DCX400 Controller will give you about 24 MPH on stock height tires with a 36V battery pack. http://www.cartsunlimited.net/Custom_Options.html |

I though it was time for a new controller, just wanted to be sure before I spent the money.

Re: need help with 2007 pds cart
Since the controller is "dead" anyway with no power coming out of pin 1 to feed back into the controller via the f&r switch, I wonder what would happen if you just jumpered power to pin 1 to "simulate" the controller working?
I suspect the driver circuit out of pin 1 is dead so giving the f&r an external power source may make it work again till you can get another controller. Seems to me you can't kill a dead controller so it's worth a try. |

Just an update. It was a bad controller. Replaced the controller and everything operates as it should. Thanks for the help.
