Default Club car ds

Hello All,
I have a 2001 club car ds. All has been well been riding pretty much everyday. Came a good storm and have not rode in 4 days. I went to get on earlier and mashed the accelerator and my solenoid does not click. i can hear the foot switch clicking but the solenoid does not. Any help would be very appreciated thank you. I have tested the solenoid at the small terminals and seem to have 14 volts????? Cart is a 48 volt. FYI 1 year old batteries, voltage gage on cart is showing 52 volts. OBC has been bypassed 1 year ago. THank you

if you jump the two large terminals on the solenoid and the cart moves , the solenoid is bad .

Just attach them both to one large solenoid post. Make it even safer by disconnecting the main negative from the battery pack.
