You should have voltage on the terminals. The controller grounds one of the small terminals to energize the solenoid. There is a "precharge resistor" across the big terminals that will put battery voltage on both sides when the cart is idle. 45.5V is very low battery voltage - indicating that the batteries need a charge. Again, none of the solenoid terminals should be at ground except when the solenoid is energized by the controller. You don't say if the solenoid clicks or not when you push the pedal. It should also click for a couple seconds when you move the run/tow switch from tow to run. It should also click and the motor should resist movement if you push the cart with the run/tow switch in the run position. (you should get a beep also when pushing it)
