SOLENOID - GOLF CART from Golf Car Ranch
The solenoid in your golf car is the main electrical contactor (switch) that allows battery current to flow to the starter/generator (on gas cars to crank the engine) or to the traction motor (on electric cars). The golf cart solenoid is working the entire time the accelerator pedal is pushed. You must upgrade to a heavy duty style solenoid if you upgrade your tire size to larger diameter, upgrade your motor or controller. It is highly recommended that you also upgrade to heavy duty if you install a rear seat kit. The solenoids come in various voltages from 12 volt - 72 volt for gas and electric golf carts. Call Golf Car Ranch if you have any questions at 903-769-3600 and ask for Technical Support.
