Default Troubleshooting catastrophic failure, cart doesn't move.

I have a Hyundai cart that has been having troubles lately and recently blew up. When letting off the accelerator pedal occasionally the cart wont stop completely, it wants to keep going (very slowly) so you have to tap the accelerator pedal again to get it to kick off. After a round I pulled it into the cart shed and plugged it into the charger. The next next day when I got to the course the charger was charging (which is not the norm). I got into the cart and it wouldn't move. The reverse buzzer goes off, but nothing else. I am assuming that the cart was sitting there trying to run (barely) all night while being plugged into the charger. I lifted the seat and everything was warm. The batteries, coils, motor, etc. I can't believe I didn't burn the place down. I can't find a fuse, or a reset switch on the motor. I am not sure if it has the original motor because it has a 3.5 hp 36v, 5.5 at 48v motor that has a Santiago cart supply sticker on it but no other identifying marks. I can't see anything burnt anywhere. My first stop is to check the solenoid, but I really have no idea where else to begin. I live in a small town with no golf cart repair shops near. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
