Resistor & Diode Instruction for Golf Carts

Golf Cart solenoid resistor and diode instruction video

Thanks Scotty B! I will be installing my parts this weekend!!

I'm putting together my own ev cart. I'm working with a cushman GE series wound motor, I have an sr480300 altrax controller, and I'm going to use an Albright dc182 f/r switch. I've looking for wiring diagrams for those. Would you happen to know/have a diagram showing how these wire into the system? The most information I've found so far is from this video. GREAT JOB!

The diode is marked on the negative end and because of its purpose you install it in reverse so the emf blows back through the diode. You need to correct this somehow cause you getting it backwards like that could be a huge costly mistake for people following directions on a website.

Any chance you could do a video of how to add a reversing contractor to a Yamaha g16 series cart.

Hello Scotty, thanks for the video. I just want to confirm on the MZJ-400.. this solenoid does not have polarity on the large terminals and can go either way? As long as you match the banded diode to the pos you assigned it? I am seeing some info on line about the 1 and 2 that is labeled on the solenoid indicating positive and negative and it’s confusing me. Thank you!!

I have 2008 ruff and tuff golf cart, and I can't fine a wire diagram for this one I need install the contactor, any idea how to doing?

Does the diode and the resister go on the large terminals? You are showing only diode no resister. I have the same solenoids.

Scotty B? Do you know, how does one determine the exact value diode to use, for instance, for a MZJ-800 amp solenoid switch? This is on a John Deere ME-1004 ev conversion project, using a 470 ohm resistor, as you covered in this video. We're using a 48 volt battery, if that matters? Can i use a 15amp 45 volt 15SQ045 fly-back diode ?

Your top right solenoid has what looks to be a diode on the large terminals...my cart is like this...educate me please...thanks

[dougneubecker]

You should include this link with the kit ? I literally wasted a whole day trying to figure this out . Disregard my email about the solenoid

Is the resistor used on a gas powered Club Car?

[thecompoundairsoft]

What diode is used on this sw202 switch. I bought this years ago and one of the diodes broke in half and I cant read the writing.

What's the purpose of the 250 ohm resistor?
