The brake switch is a common problem. It is located at the base of the brake pedal. It can be easily tested with a meter. The throttle potentiometer is also a bit of a trouble spot on this cart. Both of these items can get pretty nasty due to the location under the floor pan.

If you push the cart forward with no application to either pedals, the roll away protection should kick in and attempt to stop the cart. If the cart does not respond when pushed, I would start checking the motor. I have seen the brushes stick in the retainers, causing some very strange issues. If the brushes are not contacting the commutator correctly it will cause the controller to not respond to roll away, and also not move at all.

With motor leads disconnected check continuity between A1 and A2. You should have continuity.
