2000 club car. my cart would travel good then slow down then stop completely. then go good for a while then go really really slow. batteries are good. selenoid maybe? and if so i dont know how to test. thanks for any help

You may say they are good but many problems like this are due to either a faulty battery or a bad connection. Measure all of your battery voltages. If it's not running, monitor the full pack voltage when you try and go.

forgot to mention that it wont go reverse either. i measured the pack but not with the pedal down. it measured 49.2 just on its own. i didnt measure each battery but i will.

I believe 49.2 is ~65% of fully charged... You might have a battery or 2 that is on it's way out.
Record each battery's voltage(plus to minus) after a FULL charge and 12 hours rest and post them up here.

ok guys. i found one if the three microswitches behind the f/r swith had a broken connection. it is the first one of the three. so i connected the wires straight and push the pedal and it moves. could this little switch keep the cart from going. it seems so insignificant.
