2006 DS - Starter/Generator Turns Over With Key Switch
Hello BGW!
I am working on a friend's 2006 CC DS for him. The cart runs and drives great, but for some reason the key switch is supplying power to the Starter/Gen. If I throw it into neutral or turn the key off it kills the power. Before I chase the wires any suggestions? Also, I removed the fuse in the black fuse box with the accelerator rod in it and that doesn't kill the motor. EDIT: I did check to make sure the accelerator rod wasn't holding the switches open and it isn't. I even put a blast screwdriver in there to push the switches in all the way and that isn't it. |

The good thing is the cart only turns over. It doesn't turn over enough to engage the clutch.

Could be the top microswitch in the control box is bad (failed closed). The key switch provides 12v+ on the blue wire to one of the small terminals on the solenoid. The orange wire on the opposite small terminal goes to that microswitch and should only connect to ground to complete the circuit when the pedal is pressed and the arm on the microswitch is release by the movement of the bell crank.

Unfortunately the cart started doing it and for some reason even when that switch was unplugged it was doing it. Any other suggestions?

You unplugged the orange wire from the switch and it keeps cranking?

Re: 2006 DS - Starter/Generator Turns Over With Key Switch
If the microswitch is disconnected but it still turns over you've got a stuck/welded solenoid. This happens whenever a customer buys a 'starter' solenoid from Auto Zone--those were never meant to handle a constant load (on a golf car, the solenoid remains engaged the entire time you're driving, but a starter solenoid for a Ford or Jeep is only intended to be engaged for a few seconds) and burn up. They look almost identical to the stock solenoid too, the only way to tell is to pull it out and look underneath and see if it's got a cheap silver metal bottom instead of the magnetic heavier metal bottom of the proper CC solenoid.
