Buy them from a dealer or a site sponsor.

Just because you 'jumper' a solenoid and the cart runs does NOT mean the solenoid is bad. It could mean the solenoid activation circuit is bad.

well i just went out and bought a new solenoid, i was talk if it jumped it means it is no good but how would i fix solenoid activation circuit

you should try and keep all this stuff in the same thread, you have like 3 going on for the same cart.......its a micrswitch that activates the solenoid and if i,m correct you said solenoid was clicking but wasn,t working and if it was clicking the microswitch should be good so theres a real good chance its the solenoid.......................................

No... I told you that if it was indeed the solenoid clicking, it proves that the activation circuit is fine.... You said it clicked every time you hit the pedal, which proves that the activation circuit is fine. My point was, if you "Jump" a solenoid that clicks on command, such as the one you described, and the car runs, the solenoid is bad....

On a more technical note, once the solenoid clicks the contactor inside is supposed to allow for continuity between the two larger posts. This is called a "closed" connection. Once a solenoid is closed, power can pass through it as if it isn't there, the same result can be achieved by laying a hammer across the top of it.
