club car carryall 1 solenoid clicks but no go.
I just bought a club car carryall 1 from an auction and do not know the history. I bought new batteries and they are fully charged. 48v cart 8v batteries. Curtis PMC 300 Amp. Ser. # F9932-789495
The cart will not move. The large solenoid clicks but will not turn the tires. Where do i start Trouble shooting. I have a multi meter and know how to use it, just don't know what to look for with this unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Re: club car carryall 1 solenoid clicks but no go.
Brand new charger and it works fine. Charged new batteries for about 8 hours then the charger stopped. The meter dropped to 3 amps and stopped. So I jumper the large post right to the positive battery lead?

Re: club car carryall 1 solenoid clicks but no go.
Ok measuring from the negative of the pack to the solenoid it is 50.8 v and when I press the pedal it rises to 51.2v. I get the same at the controller on the black and yellow. On the blue and white on the output side of the controller it measures 45.6 when not pressed and full pack voltage after the pedal is pressed (51.2). Could the problem be the forward reverse switch. Which wires do I measure on the switch in different directions. I get no voltage at the motor.

Re: club car carryall 1 solenoid clicks but no go.
Well as I had suspected it was the Rotary forward reverse switch all along. Checked continuity and nothing on one post. Pulled it apart and one post melted into the plastic and wasn't even touching. Repaired for now and works great. Is there an upgrade for this switch? Where can I get one? Thanks everyone for your help. I now know enough to be dangerous LOL!

Re: club car carryall 1 solenoid clicks but no go.
lol!
you can replace with a HD switch (ez-go maybe?) or you can beef up the stock switch by replacing the thin aluminum buss bar with a chunk of copper. when i rebuilt mine, i sanded & polished the cams as they were pitted pretty bad. another option is to use a reversing contactor so the f&r switch doesn't carry the load. personally, i think this is the best solution! -sj |
