Default Cart won't run..

My cart was running ok, slow but batteries were old . When it was shut down the last time it never could be started again, bought new batteries and still nothing, not even a back-up tone. I am thinking the switch , but not sure. any ideas will be greatly appreciated. It is Marathon cart

Check all battery cables and connections. Give each one a firm tug.
Check voltage at charge receptacle on cart? What is it?
Check individual battery voltages. What are they?
Determine if you have a Marathon resistor or Marathon controller cart and then...
Locate appropriate wiring diagram from Sticky's at top of first page and trace each connection and verify.

If it has a metal cover over some coil looking things between the batteries toward the back it's resistor cart.

Those things you don't want to touch shortly after driving.

looks to be the controller cart. each battery has approx 6.4 volts and a total of 42 volts total, Still nothing.

Does a Marathon cart have a Reed switch?
