Question Where do I start? 1996 EZGO

I just bought a 1996 EZGO Electric. The batteries in it were shot, so I put new batteries in it & had a local dealer go through it and check everything out. They said I had some rat knawed wires, but everything else looked fine.

We have ridden it probably 4-5 hours over the last week, when today my kids were out riding it and it quit.

When you step on the pedal, the solenoid clicks, but nothing happens.

Where do I start?

Please be very specific as this is my first cart.

Thanks!

Start by looking over all your connections, control and battery wires. Chances are that there may be more 'rat damage' elsewhere

F/R wires all OK? You have a volt meter? Sounds like either a controller issue or maybe one of the wires on the motor is burned off? Did you check there?

Take it back to the shop that worked on it. Maybe they overlooked something? I've had carts like this in my shop before where there is wiring damage - let's just say it's hard to be 100% if everything has been repaired. Without knowing what all was reoaired, it's hard to guess.

The manuf code is D2596 if that helps.
I was told it was a 1999 model....does that code match a 1999?

I have a voltmeter.....what do i check with it?
What do I check on the motor?

I don't think you realize the depth of my ignorance.

I have decent mechanical know how, but know nothing about
golf carts.
