  • Solenoid not clicking

    Need help. Working on 2000 ezgo with series motor. Not paying attention and let the battery cables arc pretty good. Up until that point it would run, could here solenoid click and had reverse buzzer. Now I have none of the above. Thanks for the help

    So if there is no 'click' the fault could be in the solenoid coil, micro switch, key switch, wiring or controller.

    Remove the blue wire at 'push on' connection from the controller unit (wire from the micro switch to the controller unit)

    With the VOM adjusted to the correct scale, connect the (B-) probe to the (B-) terminal at the battery set. Connect the (B+) probe to the female contact of the blue wire that was removed earlier. With the key switch in the 'ON' position and the accelerator pedal in the fully depressed position, battery voltage should be indicated. If battery reference voltage is not indicated move the (B+) probe to each component working towards the positive side of the battery until the failed component is found. Example: From wire to accelerator micro switch to key switch to (+) terminal of battery. If battery voltage is present at the female connection of the wire removed in step 4 and the solenoid does not 'click' the fault is in the solenoid coil windings and the solenoid must be replaced.

    Next, with the VOM adjusted to the correct scale and with the blue 'push on' connector removed, place the direction selector switch in the 'FORWARD' (F) position. Connect the (B-) probe to the (B-) terminal at the battery set. Connect the (B+) probe to the large solenoid contact connected to the positive side of the battery set and verify that battery voltage is present. Move the (B+) probe to the other large contact, the meter should indicate approximately 1v less than battery reference voltage indicating that the resistor is in good condition. No voltage drop indicates a welded solenoid that must be replaced. A reading of 0 volts indicates a poor resistor that must be replaced. Depress the accelerator pedal several times to activate the solenoid and observe the meter. No meter movement or erratic movement indicates a poor or failed solenoid which must be replaced. Full battery reference voltage indicates that the system is functioning properly. Let me know how far you can get, and if you have any questions just ask!
