A 97 Ds 48 volt powerdrive plus. This has 2 solenoids, 1 is the power displacement module.
Let me clarify, you need to look at both a 97 and also a 98 powerdrive plus wiring diagram, in order to see the correct wiring.
This cart is all stock, and is a combination of the 2 diagrams.
I have the 3 wire f/r switch, the tow switch and the same controller as shown on the 98 diagram.
However the 2 solenoids look and are wired EXACTLY as shown on the 97 diagram.
So with that info, this is where i need help. The main positive wire from battery # 1 positive, to the main solenoid, was badly corroded at the battery terminal. So the guy replaced the wire, only this one wire, nothing else. Cart was running fine before he replaced this wire.
After replacing the wire , cart will not run, at all.
I have 50.1 volts at batteries. Both solenoids will click . If i attach my volt meter to the pack negative, turn on the key, step on the pedal, i get 49-50 volts on any solenoid terminal i touch. Both solenoids, and both the small and large terminals, get the 50 volts positive!!
So i am wondering why i am getting this positive voltage on the small negative terminals??
I have the 95 service manual that both the 97 and 98 say to use, In that manual, they show the old controller that is on the 97 diagram with the "Z" terminals. My cart and the 98 diagram have a different stock controller, so following the wire are a little diffacult.
The guy said when he installed the new wire, he attached the battery end of the cable first. So that makes me think he smoked or arc something. He says no, and i cannot see any type of arc marks anywhere.
The solenoids seem to be ok and work, ie after about 20 seconds of non use they drop out and the big terminals then have NO continuity between them.
I was going to remove he controller and send it to be rebuilt, but there are no labels of any kind on this controller, The manual says it is a curtis with club car number 1018879-01 48 volt 225 amp.
Any input as how and why i get these readings on all solenoid terminals?
