Default Star Car Issues

Hello,

I have a 2009 Star Car 48V Golf Cart. I am having an issue with the motor stopping when you go over the slightest bump. Take your foot off the accelorator and press again and the solenoid clicks and you take off again. Seems to happen every time you hit any sort of bump. Even a manhole cover when riding on the road.

With some research I had thought it might be the solenoid dropping out. I ordered a new one and just put it in and still having the same problem. (btw if anyone is looking for a solenoid for a similar cart I found a place to get one for $59 + shipping out of NJ. The dealer quoted me a price of over $200!!!! They are actually a distributor of Curtis/Albright components).

The controler is giving a fault code of:
5,5 MAIN DROPOUT Main contactor open. 1. Main contactor defective.

Not sure what to do at this point. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric
