Yamaha elctric cart won't run

JeffL

The cart at work won't run. The serial number reads JN4-105109. Not sure what year or model cart it is, but this number should indicate it, right. The cart was clicking when the key was on and you pressed the pedal, but then I accidently touched one of the posts on the solenoid, (I think it's the solenoid) to another one and it sparked and stopped making any noise at all after that. Am I right that it's the solenoid, it has 4 posts on the top, two have like 10 ga. wire on them, and the other two are 16 ga or so. It was what was clicking when the pedal was pressed. I think when I shorted the two posts together I fried it, because I checked the fuse and wires and everything looks ok, but now it does nothing. Any ideas as to what may be causing the cart to not run, besides the thing I fried now. Also, where can I get a new solenoid if thats what it is? Any help on identifing this cart, and diagnosing thre problem would be appreciated. Thanks

If I'm reading everything correctly you have a 1995 G14 cart.
At least according to this website.

Thanks, I took out the solenoid and got a new one. My problem now is that I can't remember how the wires went. I have the two small posts figured out, but I can't remember what wires went to the larger posts. I removed the two batteries on the solenoid side, and now I'm not sure how the wires went. I looked up a schematic for the cart, which is a G14E, and I can't figure it out from that either. Can anyone let me know how they go. Thanks

It won't matter witch large posts or witch small posts you hook the wires to. The 2 small wires just energize the solenoid and the 2 big posts just let curent flow thru.
