I changed out the solenoid (I thought that was the likely problem since there was burnt wires on it). It didn’t fix the problem. I switched the cables on F1 and F2 and now the cart only goes for 20 yards at a time before it cuts out.
From what I’ve read it’s likely either the f&r switch on the dash or the controller. Is there a way I can test the switch without destroying the rivets holding the plate in the dash?

Check the voltage the F/R switch is send to the controller at the controller.
Battery pack voltage comes out of controller on J1 Pin-1 to center terminal of F/R switch. In F, the voltage is sent to J1 Pin-3 and in R it is sent top J1 Pin-2.

Attached are diagrams showing voltage paths through a PDS controller and where Pin-1 is on each jack.

-------------
as for running a few yards and stopping, put controller in diagnostic mode and listen for the beeped error codes. The text at the bottom of attached PDS label tells you how to get into diagnostic mode.

----------
If you push the center pin in the two drive rivets that hold the switch panel in place, you can pop them out and reuse them if you can find the pin that was pushed out. Otherwise, sheet-metal screws work.
