1982 Club car no working
 
Hello all.
I have a 1982 Club car - 36volt.
5 soleniods.
Worked fine until the Left most soleniod arched, a spark was seen from friends.
Upon examination, the left most (passenger side) the rear post on the soleniod was melted off, the one connected to the resistor.
I thought that I'd just have to replace that and I'd be back in business. Not the case.
No soleniods were clicking.
So I replace all the micro switches in the box that gets activated by pressing the gas petal and the one for Forward and Reverse switch. (Note: The golf cart shop sold me three prong switches and said the would work in place of the two prong ones. I had 4 two prong and 1 three prong.)

The Soleniods and Mirco switches are now clicking.

What am I missing, the motor spins withn I jump the soleniods.

I've tested with Volt meter, and I'm getting readings at all the soleniods.

Thanks in advance for any help you can send my way.
Is there some other switch I'm missing? Or maybe I burnt a wire when it sparked?

Re: 1982 Club car no working (fixed)
 
I figured it out.
I had the Orange and Green wire switched inside the box.
I had labeled them incorrect when I took it appart, thanks to who ever posted the wire diagram.

I now know a whole lot of about how golf carts work. I might be able to fix it next time.
