The Solenoid - Club Car Gasoline Service Manual

Testing the Reverse Buzzer Circuit, Continued:

4.4. Pull center dash out approximately one inch from the frame and then bend the top right corner of
the dash panel inward while pulling the top of the panel out and down.

NOTE
• BENDING THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE CENTER DASH INWARD WHILE REMOVING IT
WILL PREVENT THE CONTACTS ON THE REAR OF THE KEY SWITCH FROM TOUCHING THE
METAL FRAME AROUND THE DASH.
5. Slide the center dash panel up the steering column by snapping out the top and then rotating the panel
out and up. There is sufficient slack in the wiring to allow for this.
6. Disconnect the 18 gauge white wire at the reverse buzzer. Place the black (-) probe of a VOM (set at Ω)
or continuity tester on the large post of the solenoid (with the 6 gauge and the 18 gauge white wires
attached), and place the red (+) probe on the terminal end of the 18 gauge white wire at the reverse
buzzer. The reading should be continuity. If it is not, replace the 18 gauge white wire.
7. Disconnect the 18 gauge orange wire at the reverse buzzer. Place the black (-) probe of a VOM (set at
Ω) or a continuity meter on the receptacle fuse assembly at the 10 gauge red wire and 18 gauge
orange wire connection, and place the red (+) probe on the terminal end of the 18 gauge orange wire at
the reverse buzzer. The reading should be continuity. If it is not, replace the 18 gauge orange wire.
8. If there is continuity in both wires, but the buzzer will not sound, replace the buzzer.
Removing the Reverse Buzzer
1. Disconnect the batteries (Figure 19-1, Page 19-2).
2. Remove the center dash.
2.1. Remove the plastic cap covering the screw on each side of the center dash.
2.2. Loosen (but do not remove) the screw on each side of the center dash panel.
2.3. Insert a flat blade screwdriver at top center of the center dash between the dash and the cowl
brace. Gently pry the center dash out slightly from under the edge of the cowl brace.
2.4. Pull center dash out approximately one inch from the frame and then bend the top right corner of
the dash panel inward while pulling the top of the panel out and down.
NOTE
• BENDING THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE CENTER DASH INWARD WHILE REMOVING IT
WILL PREVENT THE CONTACTS ON THE REAR OF THE KEY SWITCH FROM TOUCHING THE
METAL FRAME AROUND THE DASH.
3. Slide the center dash panel up the steering column by snapping out the top and then rotating the panel
out and up. There is sufficient slack in the wiring to allow for this.
4. Remove the orange and white wires from the buzzer terminals (Figure 19-2, Page 19-3).
5. Remove the screws attaching the buzzer to the center dash.
Installing the Reverse Buzzer
1. Install reverse buzzer and center dash by reversing removal procedures.

THE SOLENOID

The solenoid is mounted just in front of the No. 3 and No. 4 batteries (Figure 19-1, Page 19-2). It has two
sets of terminal posts on it. The two large terminal posts (5/16" diameter) are power contact terminals, and
the two small posts (No. 10) are activating coil terminals.
