My 2006 G22 died in the middle of a ride. Came to a stop, pressed the pedal and everything just stopped but my battery showed a full charge. Flipped to Tow to push it but decided to try it again, flipped to run, heard a click, hit the pedal and went about a foot before it stopped again. Now thanks to this video I have a pretty good idea what the issue is!!!
Thank!!!!

[dynamicpolyestercenter]

Thanks buddy! Helped a lot! Found a broken wire at the connector!

[meggybear]

Really appreciate the video and explanation—it helped us fix our cart!

[roccojrlococo]

Same golf cart but mine runs about 30min, then starts acting like dead batterys. If I flip to tow mode then to runs it starts moving again any ideas ?

[Cybrdraon]

Thanks, this helped me figure out what was wrong with my 2005 Yamaha. I'll follow along when I replace the solenoid. Great video!

I have two 2019 Drive 2's 48 volt... Just like most on this chain, mine both run, lose power, solenoids click, flip run tow switch, both work temporaily and die... repeat process or let them sit. Batteries are fully charged. HELP!!!

[garyfries]

What if you have no voltage on the first switch that you had 39 volts

[tysonlarson]

What are the conditions necessary to get it to energize? key on? Brake pedal? accelerator pedal on?

[kimdolson]

Is there a way to set speed control, ours goes super fast in reverse

[marcelouru]

Hi in my same model and year i don't get in 48v in the first conector do you know what the power is coming from?

[DannySchneible]

Great detailed video! My Dad's Yamaha Golf Cart is getting a charge. When I turn the key on, I hear the solenoid clip a couple of times. The reverse switch beeps, but when I press the throttle in both drive positions nothing happens. However, if I press the throttle while pushing off the ground with my other foot to move it forward, then it starts and continues to move but almost in a stuttering start and stop way, as if the something is slipping, or not making a good connection. If you have any thoughts as to what it might be, or what I should check, I'd greatly appreciate it. I believe it is a model YDRE G29.

Hi, anychance of a quick video of G22E worong of the tow/run switch please.

[nathanieljackson]

My cart is a 2002 g19e and it will go in reverse for about 10ft and drive for about 2ft then stop any suggestions

[Thereal_andrewmurphy]

I have a g29 48v with no power getting to the rest of the cart. No beep in reverse, nothing when I step on the pedal. I tried replacing the controller, not that. Checked all of the wiring, not that. Batteries are brand new. The only thing left is the solenoid but it clicks when I switch from tow to run. Any thoughts?

[markanthonythompson]

Excellent vid, my exact cart and issue. Thanks

[thomasklement]

when did the first test and showed 48 volts was it in run and did have to push the pedal to get the reading?

[zhbh]

My 2006 48 v yamaha wont go but reverse buzzer beep continuously if swithched out of Tow mode. batteries all good and charged. Im suspecting F/R switch?

[ksmithkatcarving]

I know this is probably old, but does a solenoid waste stay hot on an electric golf cart with the? key off?

[thomasklement]

what did u test to show it was the solenoid?

[mikegamer]

I have a G29 and I don't hear the solenoid click, I have 49 V on both sides of the solenoid when the key is on or off, dealer told me it was a controller, but I think they were trying to get money from me. I picked it up and brought it home trying to fix it myself, Any help would be appreciated
