All the damage was done on the one side of my 48v solenoid. My question is what to do from here. I can repair the cables easy enough but what caused this and how do I define how much damage was done.

There should not have been a wire connecting any terminal on the solenoid to the F1 terminal on the controller.
Undoubtedly, you need a new solenoid and a new cable or two, but make sure it is wired correctly.
