Precedent solenoid
 

I have a Precedent "forgot the year" that has no voltage to the small wires on the solenoid with pedal down. Both wires read neg-. Big lugs read 50v and controller side 49v pedal up and down. MS and MCOR work to spec. Does this solenoid activate on 48 v and which wire is suppose to be Pos+? I see they both trace back to the small wire connector on the controller.

You need the Key On, in Fwd, Run/Tow in Run, and Go Pedal depressed. Did you do all that?

And yes, between the 2 small post you should have 48v or pack voltage.

The light Blue supplies the 48v+ and the Blue w/White supplies the 48v- "after" all the permissiveness have been met.

Thanks for the reply. This is exactly what I wanted to know. No voltage on wires and I traced them back to the controller. And yes key On, in Fwd, Run/Tow in Run, and Go Pedal depressed. I just read about the reset , I'll try that next.

Now you need to know which one you are missing. The 48+ or 48-....
(Cart jacked up, key on, rocker switch in Fwd, and pedal depressed)
At the solenoid small posts do the following:
1- Take your DVM and place the red lead on the solid blue wire and the black lead on the main pack negative. You should get 48vdc (If not, we lost the Pos Input)
2- Next, take your DVM and place the black lead on the blue/white stripe wire and the red lead on the main pack positive. You should get 48vdc (If not, we lost the Neg input which needs all the Positives before it will pull low)

I apologize for not getting back,it was unavoidable. I've used a DVM all my life and I very confuse why I couldn't get voltage in the two small solenoid wires, but in the process I checked the solenoid and the primary or activation side was open. So I replaced it and the cart is working fine. Thanks for the fast reply. This is a great cart forum.

Sounds great. Glad you are rolling again!
