Hello,
So i have been troubleshooting multiple issues. My cart would always say low voltage even though the batteries showed fully charged with a voltmeter. I ended up calling a repair company, and he said I needed a solenoid and new charger.

Here's the rub..I could not see the white line on the diode between the small posts on the solenoid, and installed it backwards. This is where the fun starts. I ordered a replaced the diode because I do not have voltage across it with the pedal stepped on and in gear. He said the next step is to replace the pedal switch and throttle inductor.

How can I test these parts before blindly replacing them? How can i test the controller to be sure I did not ruin it?

Any help would be appreciated.

All new batteries, 36v ez go txt.
