Motor just died while riding. Solenoid issue?
My club car died while my son was riding it. The solenoid would click from time to time so I figured that was a good start so I replaced it. Still nothing. The new solenoid doesn't click and the only noise is from the micro switches when they activate. I can get the motor to start by jumping a wire across the two big posts on the solenoid. That actually works with both the old solenoid and the new one. Anyone have an idea what I should check next?

just because the microswitch clicks does not mean it is good

Re: Motor just died while riding. Solenoid issue?
My multimeter has probes. I'll use vise grips to clamp ground to battery then I'm assuming just make sure voltage is passing through both of the micro switches? I found the switches online fairly cheap so maybe I'll go ahead and order some new ones.

Re: Motor just died while riding. Solenoid issue?
There are 4 total two more located back of shifter. Of these 4 there are two different types 2 prong & 2-3prong. There are one + one at each location. The picture show the two tab one but they both work the same way. under the prong is that black bump that is spring loaded, you push that prong down, let it go it should snap back if it doesn't that is your bad one. Its a pretty good bet that if its a bad micro its one of the two in the black box these seem to be the common area. I took mine completely out of the equation and converted to a key start I hate those things. The two in that black box one sends power to your solenoid when you step on the gas, the other grounds the coil when you take your foot off the gas(shuts off the engine). Pay attention to wire colors and location, I think you will find it to be the micro switch on the top

Thanks for all the help. I will check the switches when I get a chance and go from there. I'll post results of what I find.

This thread has a good wiring diagram you can follow: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-c...-diagrams.html Don't worry about the 1992 year, if it's a DS that diagram should still cover it. |

Re: Motor just died while riding. Solenoid issue?
I replaced the micro switches on the throttle and the ones on the shift lever and still nothing. What's the easiest way to get behind the ignition switch to check all connections? I can't really see much from looking under the front end.

Re: Motor just died while riding. Solenoid issue?
~Disconnect the battery... (the connections on the key switch will most likely touch the aluminum trim),
~On either side of the dash panel in the glove boxes, you'll see a button (screw cover) ~Pry the screw cover off with a small flat blade screw driver, (or equivalent) click pics to enlarge: Serial Number 2nd location 001.jpg Serial Number 2nd location 002.jpg ~Loosen the 2 screws... DO NOT remove them! ~Pry the top of the dash panel out, and away from the aluminum trim, ~With the top of the panel angled toward you, work the bottom of the panel out from it's seat. ~It's a REALLY tight fit between the panel, steering column, and it's seat, so you'll have to kind of wrestle it out! (it's even more fun wrestling it back in!) The panel is sturdy, but somewhat flexible enough so it shouldn't break when removing, or reinstalling it.
