In this article I am going to explain how to check a solenoid for problems.

On a typical solenoid there are four posts called terminals. There are usually two large terminals and two small ones. Battery voltage is applied to the two small terminals to activate the solenoid, which then connects the two large terminals together. From time to time, the two large terminals malfunction and the solenoid needs to be replaced.

Follow These Simple Steps to Check the Solenoid:

1. You will need a couple of tools: a voltmeter or multimeter, and (typically) a ½” wrench.

2. Disconnect any cables from the two large terminals. Be sure to wrap the cable ends in tape, and keep the ends separate from each other.

3. With the key off, and the cart direction switch in a neutral position, set your voltmeter to ohms, and place a probe on each large terminal (see first image below). There should be no reading.

4. Now, with the cart's direction switch in the forward position, and the key on, step on the accelerator. You should hear a click coming from the solenoid. If you do...

5. Set your voltmeter to measure ohms, and place a probe on each large terminal (see image below). You should have a reading of 0 to 0.4 ohms. Anything higher, and it means that the solenoid has faulty contacts and should be replaced.

6. If you did not hear a click coming from your solenoid, then grab your voltmeter and set it to DC volts on the 200 scale, and place a probe on each of the small terminals.

7. With the key on and the cart in forward, step on the accelerator.

• If the voltmeter shows full battery voltage, and there is no click, the coil inside the solenoid has failed and will need to be replaced.
• If your voltmeter remains at 0, then there is a problem somewhere else in the cart.

NOTE: When buying a new solenoid, be sure to buy one that matches your cart's voltage. Most golf carts are either 36 volts or 48 volts. The voltage will usually be written on the side of the solenoid.

• Precedent club cart runs then stops when I flip the run toe switch all is ok then repeats its self , any help would be appreciated

• I have a 2002 Club Car DS. Driving it around my yard, it felt like it tried to go into reverse on its own. Drive tire actually slid. I let off accelerator and it started coasting forward. I eased on accelerator and no problem. Backup alarm was not sounding during the event. I built up speed and it felt like it was jerking some trying to repeat same issue. Thoughts?

• I have a G1 Yamaha golf cart, I’m trying to find out why is it that when I try to go forward or backwards it hesitate for a min before it takes off and then jerks off. It also does not go to fast either. Is there anyone that can tell me what the problem may be? Thank you.

• Robert, try unplugging the wire leading to the oil sensor and see if it stays running.

• 1989 gas club start's and run's and just quit's, then it wont start!

• Own 1998 (48 volt) electric club car. Cart has run fine. Then this morning when decelerating it starts to go into reverse. Sometimes the reverse buzzer sounds. If I decelerate very gradually I can avoid this. But fact motor attempts to go reverse while going forward can’t be good. Anyone else had this problem or suspect a cause.

• Thanks for this it definitely helps! My question would be, what if the solenoid has 6 terminals? Would the testing be the same?

• club president 2008 serial no PQ0804-868249, what causes the front assembly to start lowering and start rubbing on the front driver side wheel please

• I am having the same problem as Jwanton...my cart runs grate for about a min or 2 then slows down to a craw ..let it sit and then will run fine for a min or 2 slow back down

• I hadnt driven the cart in 2 weeks, I did not have it on the charger at all during those 2 weeks. When I got in the cart, it backs up just fine, when I put it in forward it make a clunk noise from the back, then stopped. I put on the brake, then stepped back on the gas and it moved forward but very slowly like the battery was dead. I charged the batteries, didnt work. I checked the water level in the batteries and fille them to above the cells, and charged over night, nothing. all wires are tight, the batteries are taking a charge ( i watched the water in the batteries bubble as I charged it and the charger meter went from 15 AMP to 0 AMP, then clicked off indicating that it charged) where else can I look?

• where can I get a solenoid for a 48 volt club car golf cart? thanks gene

  Thanks,

• Where can I look at all the answers to these questions

• I have 2011 Yamaha drive, the cart is fully charged 48volts will drive for a couple minutes then starts slowing down and stops, if I wait a few minutes switch it to tow then back to run the cart starts up drives slow, if I park it for a couple hours the cart starts out normal speed then dies again.

  The lights work even when cart dies and bettered with my multimeter are telling me 48volts. Please help..

• My Yamaha 48 volt cart jumps at the start then runs ok,but clicks while sitting still. Any ideas

• 2010 club car precedent; Could not charge, using Power Drive 3, batteries were very low . Charged each battery till they had enough voltage to trip the charger. It worked but then the charger wouldn't automatically shut off. Checked on line and by passed the controller. Now my charger charges for about 15 min shuts off but won't come back on automatically. Any Suggestions

• I have a 2005 EZgo txt golf cart. It will drive about fifteen minutes then slows down, starts stuttering, then completely stops. I let it sit for a while and it will go another few minutes.

• I have a 42 volt Western. I had a bad cell on one of my 7 batteries so I replaced it. In doing so I accidentally hooked it up backwards. After reversing the wires I can't get it to move or even light up the charge indicator light. Only the head light s come on. What would your experience lead you to believe is causing this?

• I have 6 x 8 volt golf cart batteries. all batteries show bad on the tester. they still have plenty of power. all six of the batteries show bad. has the batteries changed to opposite polarixed the wrong way or what is wrong with them when you there try to charge the battery it will charge for shot time and then it does'nt charge anymore in all the batteries?

• I have a 2006 IR , My problem batteries are good , But when I run it within 2 minutes it is as if the brakes were put on . It won't budge. It also runs really slow..

• My electric (48volt) club car 04 model bucks or jerks when going very slow could it be the Solenoid

• Same problem as some of the other people. I have a 1993 ez-go marathon, the batteries are charged but has no power. Could it be the solenoid?

• I have a used 4 wheel ezgo 36 volt golf cart Marathon with new battery and i find it sluggish when not pulling much of a hill. i use it in a paved rv resort park and so the seems to be a problem. i have used carts before on the course and there was no problem with the cart. is there something that would keep the car with low power when the battery are fully charged.

• Where is the solenoid on a 2010 polaris breezemail golf cart

• I just purchased late model club car cart. When putting it in reverse or forward u hear little bit of clicking n what sounds like arcing from the motor. It set for about a year. Could it be the selempire

• Checked the solenoid like you side got the readings like you said seems to be working correctly!!! But I still have the same problem as before, runs great for about 25 minutes then slows down to a crawl!! Batteries still have full charge 36 volts!! As it sits for awhile seems to run right again, and it's starts all over again!!! Please help lost in this one!!!

• I have a 2002 electric club car was golfing the other day and it was running great. I started to go and all of a sudden it just stopped. It would not go forward or in reverse. Any suggestions?

• i have a 1995 36 volt club car golf cart .it goes in reverse great but in forward it is sluggish and low on speed . it doesnt have multiple silonoids .and resister coils . just one solanoid and a controller box . ant idea what might b wrong ?

• mike i think your problem is from a cable under the throttle pedal. there is a cable in a box under the rubber mat that goes from the box back to the motor area that rusts and the throttle gets stuck wide open

• I have a 1994 gas club car - runs ok except I only have high speed nothing in between - to go slow have to let up on throttle so motor quits then hit throttle again at highest speed to keep momentum

• I have a 2008 EZ Go RXV that goes forward and reverses but makes an awful sound. The only time it sounds right is when it is doing a circle. Was told it is the rear end, but wasn't told what to do to fix it. Any suggestions?

• 2012 club car electric precedent hesitates 7 to 10 seconds from pressing GO pedal and it happens in either direction. Batteries in the cart are new. I hear the detent in the MCOR click when I depress the GO pedal there is the delay then I hear a click in the rear of the cart and then it moves. What could it be or what do I need to test specifically?

• My 36volt 2001 ez go odd model will move about a inch and stop same in reverse

• Had new batteries installed in my club car 2008 ran it came time to charge will not take a charge kicks the charger out

• I have a 1998 Yamaha gas. It started to crank hard. I replaced the fuel filter and spark plug. It ruined great for a while but now is hard to start and while driving it if you hit a bump it will die had to toe it home. Any help please

• Howdy got a 36Volt ClubCar and when U shift into either gear it will move even with with the KEY off. Checked the Key switch it's OK left wires off and still moves when shifting. My shade tree mind makes me think it's the solenoid can U help please

• I went through your instructions on testing the solenoid, however the voltmeter remained at 0, so the problem is somewhere else with the cart. 1994 Club Car Electric. Any idea as to where to check?

• The stripe on the diode should be toward the positive (red) terminals

• The small solenoid terminals on my 2013 Yamaha G29 YDRE have one red wire with yellow stripe and one red wire with black stripe. Does anyone know which direction the diode should be installed?

• what happens if put the two small wires on the solenoid wrong will this damage the solenoid?

• I have a gas golf car, I run for awhile and the it start jerking along. I have to stop and wait and most times it takes off and goes ok for awhile, may do it again or not. if it is still doing it I just wait. Sometimes it smells flooded other times it looks like its getting no gas, what could the problem be?

• I have Yamaha G8 gas, starts and runs fine then just quits. then some times it will start and sometimes it won't, starter just grinds. I,v replaced the solenoid, fuel filter, and checked for loose wires. ?

• 2001 Ezgo Freedom---electric. Playing 18 holes it only happens once or twice in a round. When you start off it seems to jump a little then runs smooth. What do you think is the problem?

• I have a ez go 136. When i turn it on, press peddle reverse or forward there is vibration, but it will not move. Vibration seems to be a large cylinder sitting just behind the batteries...would love some help

• Bought an EZGO electric used. No serial number in the usual places. I was looking for something I lost in a field and was driving over it slowly. After a while the cart stopped going. Put it in reverse and it backed up. Put it in forward and it zoomed forward. Went slowly and it went for a while and then the same thing. It wanted to go forward but couldn't. Then reverse again, etc. Happened 6 times in a row. What's up?

• I have a 2007 ruff&tuff 48v-6person EV. as soon as the key is on and the f/r switch is depressed the cart goes as if on full throttle. the throttle pedal does not give any input when depressed.otherwise everything works normally. does this seem like a throttle micro switch problem,solenoid problem or throttle potentiometer issue. any input is appreciated,thx

• I have a (94) 36V Club car with the exposed resistor coils and a stepper speed switch and single selonoid. The r cart has 1 year old batteries and runs well except recently there seems to be no low speed. When pushing the throttle the cart jumps in what seems to be second speed. It seems to be skipping the lowest speed setting. The first coil resistor seems good with no break but the jump in speed makes it very uncomfortable to drive from a stop. What should I be looking for?

• Hi, I have a 96 club car ds 36v. it will only run full speed and sometimes the throttle sticks. I used WD 40 on all the moving parts and it seems to be better, but still have the issue of it only running wide open, pressing down on the pedal it jumps and goes into wide open.

• I had a cart that was working fine but needed new batteries, after replacing them the cart won't go forward or backward even though the reverse makes the buzzing as if it wants to go backward. I first connected the new batteries with the positive and negative reversed so I may have fried something.

• I have 09 Ezego 36v it has had a slight hesitation lately and last week after use we plugged it in and the next day all the batteries were totally dead and the charger quit I recharged all of them individually new charger on order. The problem is with the positive connected and touch the neg. I get an arc, in drive mode not tow every thing off and in neutral. Pull the controller loom and no arc. I am reading about 25v 3 large cables on module box w/neg cable removed. Am reading 25v across the selonoid no neg to battery.

• I have a Club Car (2006 or 2008) golf cart. It will just stop for no good reason. I've had two shops run all sorts of diagnostic test using their computers and they can't seem to find the problem. I've talked to a few other folks and they seem to think it may be the solenoid. How do I confirm? Also, how do I determine which solenoid I need to buy if mine is bad?

• Golfcardr..Thank you so much for your precise instructions...even for this ol head to understand Going to buy a solenoid

• I have a 2004 club cart, I've chick the batteries and there all good, my problem is it takes off good, but then slowes down, it still runs but don't have any speed, I've built Hot Rods so I have the tools to work on it, I just don't know where to start is fhere any place I can get a manual, so I can trouble shoot it.

  Thank

• 2005 par car

  I have changed the pot box and the fwd/rev contactors. Is it possible the controller is going bad?

• to add to my issues....I have connected the new solenoid (hoping I have the correct wiring on the small post) and now when I switch from tow to run......I don't hear any noise....where before I could hear the batteries click in. Could the wiring be backwards on the small post....or do I do need to reset the OBC? How do I do this on the 1998 club car? It has no noise it makes when I put it in reverse. Can I still go through the process for 5 minutes and get it to reset?

• I am replacing a bad solenoid with a new one.....but not sure which small terminal post wire is hot and which is neutral. They are not marked on the old solenoid. I have one that is black...and the other is red/white stripe. Is the black wire hot?

• Hello I have a 1988 Club Car DS all the solenoids are on it click but the car still won't move anyone could tell me how or what I can do to fix it? Would really appreciate the help anyone.

• Also on that park car after it makes its jump it drives smoothly it does it and both reverse and forward

• I'm working on a roughly 2005 parcar 24 volt electric car when I hit the throttle it will go slowly but then it all of a sudden jumps what would be causing that problem

• when I press on the pedal nothing, but if you let it sit it will run again but not for long

• Hi , i have a club car ds 1996 ds 48v ... When i put full throtle pedal foward it run but i feal not the real power... Reverse no power he dont move or just a little bit no power... I got 2 solenoid on this cart , do you think that solenoid can be the problem

  Thanks

• I have 2003 Yamaha G22 Electric. How do I open the front compartment to check the solenoid?

  Thanks

• Number 7 in your instructions is what I ended with. Meter reads 0 at small terminals. But with both big post disconnected where would the voltage to solenoid come from? The key switch has yellow wire from small post on solenoid to key switch then to fnr micro switch. I'm so confused. This is 1984 ezgo electric resistor cart. How do I check fnr and pedal micro switch with my volt meter? Or what else could it be? Thank you

• I have a yamaha electric golf cart that is approx 5 years old. Runs fine 90% of time, but anywhere, anytime it decides it will not go forward. If switch to reverse, it runs, no problem. Have had to drive all the way home from course in reverse several times. Of course it works fine whenever we get someone out to fix it. We have replaced F/R switch & didn't fix. Any suggestions?
