I assume you have a good Volt meter considering what you do for a living.

What is the total pack Voltage , taken 1 hour after charge completes ?

mcphipps

removed cart from charger last night. reads 50.2v currently

Go here to the stickies and get the electrical Diag which matches your cart .

With the back of the cart on stands , front scotched . remove seat
Turn the switch on , place in forward, depress gas slowly,
Do you hear a distinctive solenoid click ?

If no try tapping it (the solenoid) a few times lightly and try the same test again .

? how many solenoids do you have (1) ?
On the back of the F/R control do you have 3 Micro switches stacked on top of each other ?
Do you get a buzzer sound when in reverse ?

Only a Tech can tell them apart Little resistors on the back ........

definite solenoid click. 1 solenoid. 3 microswitches stacked. buzzer in reverse.

Check all connections at the motor and controller. If full power at both large terminals after solenoid click, it may be a bad controller.
