Reed Switches are used to prevent cart operation with the charger plugged in. They have become increasingly expensive and they are very fragile. this component is used to eliminate the reed switch from the electrical system. Details
What is the purpose of the reed switch on a cart?
The charger socket on the cart has a reed switch inside of it. Could anybody tell me the purpose of the reed switch for this particular application or the general purpose of a reed switch. Yours truly, Beardog Basically all the reed switch does is keeps the cart from running while the battery charger is plugged in.
What happens to the reed switch when a magnetic field is applied?
Second, when the external magnetic field becomes strong enough, the magnetic force of attraction closes the blades of the reed switch. Third, the magnetic field produced by the reed blades dissipate when the magnetic field is withdrawn. Most importantly, since any residual magnetism on the reed blades would affect the opening and closing behavior.
How much power does a reed switch consume?
No power is consumed when the switch contacts are open. The simplicity of this structure and operation allows reed switches to have no wearing parts and perform reliably as a “switch” for billions of operations in numerous industries. Today, all major market segments use reed switch technology.
Why wont my golf cart go forward or reverse?
Check the Forward/Reverse switch of your golf cart for loose connections. If the connections are intact, interchange the top and bottom wires at the rear. If the cart now goes in reverse but not forward, the problem is with the switch. You have to just change the switch in this case.

How do you fix a golf cart that won't move?
When the cart won't move, you have to be sure that the batteries are sending sufficient power to the circuit. You must check the fuse. Use the voltmeter to check the voltage at the key switch. In a cart with batteries rated at 48V, it must show 48V at the key switch.
Do all golf cart motors have a reset button?
Electric golf cart motors have a reset button on their chassis which is designed to put your motor back into its original factory state. While it doesn't repair damage that may have occurred to the motor over the years, obviously, it does help to overturn any changes to the operation which may have occurred.
Where is the micro switch on Club Car?
In a golf cart, you're going to find a large number of these switches throughout its build. For example, there is a micro switch located on the accelerator pedal. This switch activates when you push the pedal and sends a signal to the solenoid.
How do you check the igniter on a EZ Go golf cart?
Take the voltmeter's black and red probe and place it on the –ve and +ve terminal of the coil. Take the readings. It should be between 3.7-5.2 ohms. If outside the range, the coil should be replaced.
How does a golf cart start?
In a gasoline-powered golf cart, the engine starts when you step on the gas pedal, and it shuts off when you take your foot off the gas. That feature helps save gas, cuts down on emissions and helps keep the course quiet, too.
Where is the speed sensor on a ezgo golf cart?
The speed sensor on an EZGO TXT golf cart is located close to the motor. This sensor is present on the rear side of the motor on the driver's side of the golf cart.
How do I test my electric golf cart speed controller?
The simplest test to ascertain your golf cart controller's performance is to to watch whether it runs when the batteries are fully charged with a slight push of the pedal. If you hear a distinct clicking noise, then your golf cart is running correctly.
How do I reset my EZ GO controller?

What Is A Reed Switch?
How Does A Reed Switch Work?
- Reed switches work by reliably switching billions of operations using a simple magnet interaction to open and close contacts. First, the basic operation of a reed switch happens when it is brought into proximity of a permanent magnet, and the individual reeds become magnetized with the attractive polarity of the magnet. Second, when the external magnetic field becomes strong enough, the magnetic force of attraction closes the bl…
History of Reed Switch Technology
- Bell Labs first invented the reed switch in the late 1930s. Although they have been in use for decades, not much has changed in regards to the operating principles of reed switches. In the 1940s, sensors and relays widely used reed switch technology. Moreover, early electronic and test equipment used reed switch components to perform stepping and switching functions. In the late 1940s, Western Electric central office telephone switch stations be…
