Ezgo series cart. No power to key
I have a 2003 txt series cart that just quit working. I have full batteries and have checked for solenoid activation by jumping it. I have power to both forward and reverse micro switches and even jumped the reed switch plus changed peddle switch just to make sure. All to no avail. What am I missing? Why is there nothing at the key switch?
Ps. Thanks in advance for all your knowledge. I have learned a lot from this site but at the moment I am brain farting all over the place. |

Re: Ezgo series cart. No power to key
well it could be a bad key switch.....
when you turn it on....and try to GO, when you push on the pedal, does the solenoid CLICK? oh an btw.....Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to BGW. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wive's, husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy. oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!! |

Re: Ezgo series cart. No power to key
I get nothing. I tested the wires with a voltmeter on the key switch. No power getting to it. Thank for the welcome and response.

Re: Ezgo series cart. No power to key
well if you are getting nothing on both sides of the switch with it in the ON position....seems like a bad switch......but to be absolutely sure, do a continuity check with the switch ON.
so since you didn't say....the solenoid does NOT click when you push on the pedal, correct? |

Re: Ezgo series cart. No power to key
Just to clarify, How exactly are you checking for voltage at the key switch? Are you putting your probes on the two wires at the key switch, or are you putting the negative probe on the battery pack negative and positive probe on the key switch wires?

No click from the solenoid. I checked with both wires on the wires on back of switch. Key on and key off as well as neg probe on battery and positive on switch.

the fact that your solenoid does NOT click (activate) you do in fact have an issue within the activation circuit, which the key switch is part of. here is a wiring diagram with the activation circuit highlighted. Wiring Diagram Series with Solenoid Activation Traced.JPG |

Re: Ezgo series cart. No power to key
that's why I ask if he did a continuity check of the switch...., if you have continuity....it could be as simple as a single broken wire between the switch and either the BLUE wire which goes to the MS2 micro-switch on the F&R or the GREEN wire which goes to the pedal box.

Re: Ezgo series cart. No power to key
That's right just to clarify check for 36v + at the F&R micro switch (MS)closest to the battery pack, check the MS for operation = power in and out when activated. This will bring power to the key.
