How to test an ez go electric golf cart solenpid?

To test the solenoid on an EZ GO electric golf cart, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the golf cart and make sure the key is removed from the ignition. 2. Locate the solenoid, which is usually near the batteries or the controller. 3. Inspect the solenoid for any signs of damage, such as burn marks or corrosion. If any damage is found, it may need to be replaced. 4. With a multimeter set to the resistance or ohms setting, test the continuity of the solenoid. Place the multimeter probes on the small terminals of the solenoid and check for a reading close to zero ohms. If there is no continuity, the solenoid may be faulty and needs to be replaced. 5. If the solenoid passes the continuity test, you can also test its operation by connecting a 12-Volt power source directly to the solenoid's main terminals. Use a jumper wire to connect the positive terminal of the power source to the solenoid's positive terminal and the negative terminal of the power source to the solenoid's negative terminal. You should hear a clicking sound, indicating that the solenoid is engaging and disengaging properly. 6. If the solenoid does not click or you suspect it is not functioning correctly, it is recommended to consult a professional or contact the manufacturer for further assistance. They will have the expertise and resources to diagnose and repair the solenoid properly.
