E-Z-GO RXV Solenoid - 48 Volt Solenoid to Replace 36 Volt Solenoid...
I have a 2013 E-Z-GO RXV .. Having a solenoid issue from the factory solenoid which I noticed what appeared to be rated at 36 Volts.
I'm seriously confused as to why there is a 36 volt solenoid on an RXV that has a battery bank of 48 Volts. Doesn't really make sense to me. Nevertheless, my biggest question is - Can i replace the 36 volt Trombetta solenoid with a heavy duty Rodgers 48 volt solenoid?? I know that getting it to fit down with the cover is an issue, but I'm just focusing on the question of whether it will work or not and not damage anything? Attached a photo of the stock solenoid below. Sorry, I know it's sideways Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance gang |

They make that exact solenoid, in both 36 and 48 volt. By the way, I have seen a lot of rxv's with that 36 volt solenoid in it.

Thank you both for the input.
Since I don't have a programmer for it, I guess I'll go back with the 36 volt solenoid. Can I use any type of 36v solenoid? I've got a Rodgers 36v nothing special. |

Even after installing another solenoid the problem continues. Turn the key on a jerk in the rear and then a constant beep. If I keep turning it on and off repeatedly it will eventually started working where I can select a gear and drive it.
Anyone suspect that the motor brake needs replacing? Pack voltage at a resting state is 50.8. Cables and contacts are cleaned and have terminal protection cleaner on them. If I flip into tow from run and select neutral wheels spin fine. Flip from town to run and same thing jerks and just does a beep... Beep... Beep... Etc.. Plausible a 2013 ezgo RXV has a bad motor brake? |

Do you know anyone near you that has a handheld that can run a check for error messages? I have one, but I'm not familiar with what part of Mississippi that Madison is in. I have a new motor brake in my spare parts inventory. Bob |

Here, let me through you for a loop....... The RXV solenoid activates at 36 volts, but after you are driving around the voltage going to the solenoid drops to 24 volts on the activation side. The engineers that designed that setup should be shot in my opinion.....
