1996 ezgo textron elec.

[Randy]

I have a 1996 ezgo textron series system golf cart. When using a testing procedure to test the speed controler should the motor run when pushing the pedal after applying the jumper wire on the B+ termal and the two red wires on the solenoid ? Im asking because as long as the jumper wire is there the cart runs fine wheather the key is off or on. Am I missing something???

I'm guessing you have a problem with the reed switch, ignition switch or the throttle that is not allowing the solenoid to energize.

It was the reed switch Im going to bypass it is this a bad idea??? Thanks in advance

You can bypass it but always remember the cart will run with the charger plugged into the cart with the reed switch bypassed.
