Yes, that is what I was looking for. I'm not sure where the relay is, but I know when there is a starting issue, solenoid tends to pop up quite often.

Do you think it's a relay vs the solenoid? The fact that the engine turned over when I put the screwdriver to the leads has me feeling it's a bad solenoid.

I will say one thing. I love EZGO carts, this is my 3rd (or 4th, depending how you look at it)...but under the seat it's a mess. It looks like they just put things together and made it fit on the fly...not thought process. Steering cable just randomly running over everything, solenoid under a plastic cover that is hard to access and change.
