wont crank

[bmph8er]

I have a 2012 gas club car ds. I never once had a problem with it now all the sudden its not wanting to crank. theres times the relay will click over theres times it wont. if you jump the relay with a screw driver it will crank over and run at times. it doesn't seem to wanna start as easy as before but I also cant hardly touch the gas peddle while jumping the relay. anyway anyone have any ideas what to start with? I tired swapping the relay with a starter relay my buddy had at the camp site and it didn't seem to help at all. please help thank you

Start with the simple things, all connections clean and tight, battery fully charged?
Is the drive clutch opening?

[bmph8er]

yes to all of them. battery was a little low so we charged it over night and didn't help anything. im changing the starter relay tomorrow with the correct one see if that helps anything

update charged all night, changed starter relay, and not doesn't even click. I jumped the relay started it and then turned it off with the key. so I know the key switch is good. what else is there? could it be the micro switch there that clicks when u hit the gas pedal?

It could be, I would get your volt meter and start at the solenoid and work your way back. Lift the starter side cable off the solenoid and put a brick on the gas. work your way back till you find 12v and that would be it.

Check your battery voltage, you may have a bad, dead battery. A fully charged battery should read 12.6-12.8V. Just because you had it n a charger all night doesn't mean it's any good.

the top microswitch in the box behind the starter relay. changed it and everything is good to go.
