Assuming cart is in non-running condition.

Jack up cart and put rear axle on jack stands.
With key on, FNR in gear, use a min 6ga jumper between large posts on solenoid. Put jumper on one post, press accelerator slightly to engage micro then touch jumper to other large post. If motor spins (wheels turn) then likely it is a bad or failing solenoid.

I think you are referring to the controller.

Here is a diagram and a schematic. Does it resemble your cart?

Time to break out the meter and begin tracing, testing, and confirming the wiring.
