Default Re: Help Identify Solenoid Problem?

On the other hand, the reverse shows system voltage. When I connect the red lead of the voltmeter to the small positive post on the solenoid and then connect the black to the negative battery post, then, I get full system voltage.

Here is a picture of the solenoid, if it goes through:

Attachment 138842

(in red) Is this the same as the battery main where you would measure the total pack voltage?

If yes and not (-) voltage can you put a small wire from the (-) solenoid post to the Controller B- or battery pack main (-) and see if the cart runs?
