Will a regular 12 volt solenoid work for a club car golf cart that is gas?

Answer 1

Yes a old Ford or old Jeep style starter solenoid works fine

The answer is no the automobile solenoid will not work. The one from the auto is a starter relay made to do momentary contact. The connection is to spin the starter and start the auto engine. *** The Golf car solenoid is a continuous duty type that is wired for staying engaged for long periods of time. The auto one will usually work about half and hour to one hour and then it will shut down. Usually it will cool and work again but sometimes it will burn the wiring inside to the electro magnet. Save yourself time, money, and trouble. Buy the correct one. 540-412-1298 for parts.
