Cart Clicks Rapidly When Pedal Pressed
 
Hi, I'm a new owner of a used Par Car. The cart was running fine and I stopped it using the brake pedal. When I tried to go again it did not move and just made a rapid clicking noise. I looked under the seat and there were 4 cylindrical electrical units attached to the batteries. Two of these had coils beneath them. The other two just had multiple wires attached. It was one of these units, (without the coils), that was making the loud clicking noise.

You can see I'm very new at this, but I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty. Can someone take a guess as to what's wrong, and what my next steps should be? Thanks for any direction you can provide.

Since it was running good previously it could be a simple bad connection somewhere OR I have seen that happen when batteries are too low. Not enough power to keep the feild coil pulled in so it will sit there and chatter. I've also seen it when there is a dead short but since you say it was running fine it won't be that unless something melted and shorted out while you were driving it. Those are called solenoids. Check all your connections real good.

Thanks Roady! It was just a bad connection that I found on one of the switches. All's well and I'm rolling again.
