Motor rapidly engages but wont move
Hi all, I have a 2016 ELECTRIC COLUMBIA SUV-LN, serial#:5FCLL38B3G1000130 that will not move! It's very frustrating as I am unsure how to troubleshoot.
Controller has no fault codes, just steady green light. All batteries test good. When the key is turned on you can hear the solenoid click, and when in forward or reverse the motor kind of hums and rapidly turns itself on and off. Where to start? (forum won't let me link nor attach wire diagram) |

Re: Motor rapidly engages but wont move
How do you test/inspect the brushes?? I was also told it may be the contactor?

Re: Motor rapidly engages but wont move
You mention you hear it click, so it's okay. (as an fyi, what some call solenoids others also call contactors).
To clear up something else, your vehicle is NOT an SUV-LN, it's an SU5-LN. Difference being that the SU5 is an AC powered vehicle and therefore doesn't have motor brushes. Your vehicle is equipped with a Sevcon Clearview display. This is handy as it's like having an onboard diagnostic reader with you. How to access the service menu is laid out in the service manual. Here's a link for a free download of that manual: https://evtechnicalservices.com/onli...utilitruck-su5 Head over to chapter 4 for troubleshooting. |

Re: Motor rapidly engages but wont move
That link leads to a link to purchase the manual, which I already have. The information I was seeking is assistance in reading the wiring diagram and troubleshooting.
With or without brushes what ended up working was going to the main wire from controller (that has a U on it) to the motor, which I believe it power? Lucky for me I found that the terminal on the end of one was broken. I replaced it and all works great now. Thanks all. |
