I have a 2000 Par Car Eagle Custom based on the VIN 5EDZ-xxxxx-E0.

This is a 48v cart with a failed solenoid (White Rodgers). I have been told by a reputable mechanic I can replace this 48v solenoid with a White Rodgers 36v solenoid and he does it all the time with no issues.

Why would I do this you may ask? He has one in stock and it is quite a bit cheaper ;)

Would like to get some input from folks if they have done this, does it sound reasonable, what would be the downside (shorter life)?

As always thanks!
