Do you have a question about the SIRIUS and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My StarEV golf cart stopped moving after letting it sit for 3 weeks. It was on the charger. The batteries are all good and putting out 48v - i replaced the solenoid. I tested the F/R switch, I think it is working properly. I tested the tow switch, I think it is good. I hear the solenoid click but the motor wont turn in forward nor reverse. Any common issues i should look at?
The manual does not explicitly list troubleshooting steps for a Star EV golf cart that stops moving despite having good batteries and a functioning solenoid. However, common issues that could cause this problem include:
1. Loose or Corroded Connections – Check all battery terminals, cables, and connections for corrosion or loose fittings.
2. Faulty Motor or Controller – A malfunctioning motor or controller can prevent movement even if the solenoid clicks.
3. Brake Issues – A stuck parking brake or malfunctioning brake system could prevent movement.
4. Throttle or Pedal Malfunction – A damaged or misaligned accelerator pedal or throttle sensor may prevent signal transmission.
5. Wiring Issues – Damaged or disconnected wiring can lead to power loss in the motor circuit.
For accurate diagnosis and repair, consult a licensed STAR EV technician as recommended in the manual.
