The activation circuit on your golf cart
could not be more critical. It is a series of relays that get the
solenoid the signal it needs to click in. The solenoid itself is an
electromagnetic switch. When it receives a positive voltage from the
battery on one terminal and a negative on the other, it closes an
internal contact. It has to travel through several different items, the
key switch, a few microswitches, and the Yamaha Stop Switch for G2, G8,
and G9 models to get that signal there. This is the plunger-style switch
in the floorboard of the caddie. It gets depressed as you push the
pedal. Now think about how many times throughout the day you do that.
Are you beginning to see why you have to replace it and why we consider
this a high-wear item?
