Ezgo 36 volt buggy i have 2 one in good running order other one not going now solenoid not clicking have swwapped solenoid and controller to good running cart and it works problem cart still problem

The first step would be to check the controller and the throttle. Make sure that the throttle is operating correctly and that the controller is sending power to the motor when calling for forward. If the controller and throttle check out then it is possible that the solenoid has failed and will need to be replaced.

It may need a repair

Need to know what kind of cart you have. Ezgo, Club Car?

36 volt, 48 volt ? for ezgo look at manuf. code, for club car serial number has the year. Then maybe we can figure out something.

Does your controller have a 6 pin connector on the top? If it does then only 4 pins are wired. Pins 1 and 2 are the throttle, pin 3 is reverse and pin 4 activates the controller.
First I would check the batteries under load. then check voltage from main negative battery post to pins 3 and 4. Should get approx. 15 volts going to the ITS throttle and other pin should get 5 volts at full throttle. If you get no voltage at either pin then probably a bad controller. Go to buggiesgonewild.com and search for wiring diagrams, they have a few for download.

goto buggies gone wild.com there are several forms that share this information on how to check a solenoid. You can also call golf cart kings in Austin Texas. They will tell you exactly how to check the solenoid. A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if answer is helpful for your question. THANK you and GOD BLESS

First of all, lift rear axle off the ground and place blocks or jack stands underneath. Check to see if you have 36 volts On your batteries. Now you want to run a jumper across the big cables on the solenoid. Press the accelerator and the motor should engage. Clicking is a pretty sure sign that the solenoid is bad. Please let me know if this is useful. I can further elaborate more troubleshooting if this doesn't solve your problem.

Your batteries have died. The reason it will barely move in reverse is that current is being supplied to the motor is a direction that it spends very little time using. There is a slight change in the armature over time, and reverse tends to work better over time. Check the voltage when under load. (run jumper wires from the + and - of the battery bank. If it is a 36 volt cart and the voltage drops to below 36 volts, you do not have enoug current to run the cart. Plug in the charger and watch the ampmeter. If it goes up to about 20 amps, then it is charging. It should take a good charge after 10 hours. If the cart charges and only runs a short distance, the batteries need replacing.

it probably is the interlock switch/ the black square with 2 small green wires and to large reds.replace that and should run.just bypassed mine and know it works.have fun
