Cart is powered unless in neutral
Hi folks, my golf cart will drive with the 1- key off, if I turn it to forward or reverse. The only way I can get it to stop is if I shift it to neutral. Its an ezgo and old. Thanks in advance ..

Re: Cart is powered unless in neutral
Does it have the wiper board? If so check the micro switches and make sure the arm is making it close and open and it also maybe broke. Check this thread I just finished on this one. if it runs with key off then the selonoid is the problem more than likely it welded up and is letting circuit being made.

Andy, Yes the key is off, even if I take the key wires off it runs when I go to F & R. I dont know what a wiper board is but im gonna research and find out. I used an ohm meter on the micro switch and the switch opens and close's when I push the accelerator.

Re: Cart is powered unless in neutral
Sounds like the throttle is not coming all the way back to the stopped position. Make sure its resting on the first or second contact on the wiper assembly. Usually its the second contact I believe. If its on the 3rd contact it's definately not going all the way back to the stopped position.
Now, thats just part of the problem. The key SHOULD deactivate the solenoid when its turned off. Sounds like the wiring is a little screwy too. Get a diagram and start checking things. |

Re: Cart is powered unless in neutral
roady thanks I will check this out. The cart has run fine for the 10 years I've had it. My boys were driving it stopped, then started up again then it would not stop, they held the brakes down and switched to neutral and coasted into the garage. I'll dig in soon.

Re: Cart is powered unless in neutral
Could be the solenoid is stuck closed. Rap it with a srewdriver handle or such to see if it will release..... If it does replace it.... THe key is being over-ridden..... sounds like 2 problems

Re: Cart is powered unless in neutral
The wiper has to go to the bottom of the contacts. There should be 5 of them. The very bottom one is not hooked to anything it has to go all the way down with no contact to the other contacts. Check out the post link I made and it shows all these things and how they are wired. There is three micro switches in the system I'm talking about here.

Re: Cart is powered unless in neutral
Thanks Andy, I was concerned about which contact it SHOULD be resting on in the stopped position. That first contact confuses allot of people because it has nothing connected and they think it should have.
