Settle which component has failed before replacing batteries, switches, controllers, or solenoids.
8 stories on file.
Charge and rest the pack, then compare accessible batteries under identical conditions. Normal voltage with poor runtime calls for a controlled capacity test.
With the pedal pressed, pack voltage across the small terminals and no click means a dead coil and a failed solenoid.
A click usually indicates that the coil caused mechanical movement, but it does not prove that the main contacts can carry operating current.
