ds was crashed and quit working
last week we had an incident with our golf cart. somebody drove it into a ditch and flipped cart on its side. fortunately everyone was fine. trouble is the golf cart has not run since. here is what i know
-no visable damage -all wires are tight and clean -batteries have taken and are holding charge (50.4v as a pack and approx 8.4 independantly), checked with hydrometer...i was concerned since while tipped over it leaked about 2gal. of fluid. -the solenoid clicks -no matter key position or pedal position i get 50v on both sides of solenoid -fluid from batteries may have leaked in to potentionometer so i would like to know how to test? what else to try? does this sound like a bad solenoid? controller? motor? 2001 48v ds (with out tow/haul switch) 11hp fan cooled motor, 400amp curtis controller, "z" lift 1/0 wiring, heavy duty f and r switch, 22" tires. |

Re: ds was crashed and quit working
Sounds like the solenoid may be bad .... you should not have 50v on both sides. Is there a positive and a negative present at the 2 small solenoid terminals? ....with key on key off... peddle up , peddle down?

Re: ds was crashed and quit working
i get 50v on the little wires on solenoid on with pedal down and yes it is a + and a -they are the same pos and neg wether in forward or reverse, if it matters . i get 50v constantly on both sides with the pedal up or down. i solenoid only clicks with the key on and pedal pressed.
what should i check next. |

Re: ds was crashed and quit working
The solenoid is a switch the power at the large terminal should be switched on/off when it clicks .... not on all the time? Is the activation pos and neg present all the time? It should come and go with the F&R microswitch activation ..... hope this helps

Re: ds was crashed and quit working
Before you replace it ........ try this, connect a jumper battery cable between the 2 large posts and see if the cart runs......... this will take the solenoid out of the equation. If it runs, the solenoid or the solenoid activation circuit is bad....

Re: ds was crashed and quit working
Dumb question, but where is the solenoid activation circuit located? I've got the EXACT same problem with my 48V 2000 cart. I jumped the solenoid's 2 big lugs and it ran fine that way....does that mean my solenoid is bad or the activation circuit? Again, if so, where's it at?
Thanks, Doc |
