I was getting my Golf Cart ready to take to a JD show so its still JD related right?? Any Yamaha Golf Cart electricians out there?? heres a copy of my question; Im unsure what I broke?? I have around a 95?? G14 Yamaha Gas Golf Cart 12 volt. It ran fine so today I added some lights wired from the hot + battery lug on the big main solenoid for hot and frame ground for return, and they worked fine. Then later I went to start the cart and it would not crank over,,,,, ,,,the lights would not work DESPITE HOT 12 VOLTS on them (used a test lamp). Its like theres no frame ground so they dont glow. The reverse warning horn is real faint like its low voltage or poorly grounded. The batery is fine and with a charger attached theres no change. When I jump the big main posts on the solenoid, the starter motor/generator runs the engine at normal speed, but she dont start the engine. A test lamp on either lil solenoid terminal glows when the key is on and the pedal depressed (as you expect it should to crank the starter/generator) and if youre in reverse where the horn sounds (but weak) it is loud like normal if a test lamp (other lead grounded) is touched to either of the lil solenoid activation terminals. They BOTH light a test lamp when pedal depressed. The battery ground is not attached to frame, it goes to one of the big four posts on the starter/generator. It seems like theres no ground or a resistive ground and she wont crank (unless you jump the main solenoid big posts) and the new lights will not glow via frame ground return even though they did for a while. Im afraid my light wiring burned something up ?? and its like the frame ground is non existent, but she cranks fine if the solenoid is jumped, its just that the lil solenoid activation terminals arent kicking it in or theres no or a weak ground and again, the reverse warning horn is real weak. Any ideas? I fear the light current from hot to ground flowed through where it wasnt supposed to and maybe burned up one of the solid state regulators or controllers, but which one and where is it, I have no diagram. Thanks in advance n God Bless John T
