Serial number A9741-613102.

The original problem was a bad solenoid. I used a used 36v to test as the original one clicked but no connection between the 2 large post. So I temporarily use the 36v to test. It worked fine. Then my friend went out and bought the right solenoid but forgot how to hook it up. When I went to look at it,the diode was shorted on the new solenoid. I replaced the diode and tried to hook up what I thought was correct. The small terminals on the solenoid, the minus side of the diode, hooked the blue/white wire to it, and all the other, 4 or 5 small wires with small hole connectors I put on the positive side. The large post, the B+ went to the one large post along with 3 or 4 other big hole connectors that had small wires on it, and on the other post I hooked the only other large wire, i think it was white to it. No click now. I measured 48v from the positive side of the solenoid diode, using the Battery for a ground. The problem seems to be the blue/white wire has no ground. Also, If I jump the larger post on the solenoid, the cart still does not go. I am thinking there is a ground broke or maybe a bad controller. Does the controller have a fused ground that is possible open from being hooked up wrong? All the diagrams I see have a tow switch, this one does not. It has a forward/reverse switch and a controller that has a large connector on it with over a dozen small wires going into it, including the blue/white from the negative on solenoid. I have been trying to get the correct diagram. I also would like a troubleshooting flow chart if possible. This all worked fine and was just a bad solenoid, until my friend tried to change it himself. Now it is dead. I am not 100% sure I have it wired correctly, but I think I do. The new solenoid is good. I put 48 volt direct on the coil side and it keyed up. and the contact was made between the post, but the cart still no moved. HELP Please.

I wish the owner would have just let me buy the part and put it in. But no, handy man he is not!
