Hey guys - just got a '95 EZ go w/dcs (serial 915377) - not run in a while. Have good batteries in - here's what it does:

Lifted the rear, so on free spinning wheels -- Turned the switch from tow to run, put the lever on Forward and pushed the pedal. Pedal clicks, but don't hear one from the solenoid. Motor has a hum, then wheels might stutter forward a little. Let off the pedal, then pushed down again - this time the wheels start going for a couple of seconds, then start to stutter a little again, and the backup 'beep' will come on here and there. While the pedal is down, the resistor got so hot the insulation started smoking, and the wire from the solenoid to controller also got very hot.

When put in reverse, wheels don't move, nothing seems to get hot.

Checked service manual stuff - reading between controlled side of solenoid and neg battery terminal showed same as main battery voltage, so bad solenoid according to manual.

Does this seem right to you guys?
