The pedal box has a switch with a normally closed contact that is held open by the cam in the pedal box ITS plunger. When the pedal is pressed the microswitch cam falls off the plunger and completes the circuit to energize the solenoid through the switch normally closed contact. The intermittent no-go problem may be something else, but the cart won't move without the solenoid contacts passing current.

Thank you for this info. I am assuming that if this is not the main issue that this should still be fixed at some point...
Yesterday I removed, tested, and cleaned the ignition, and then opened up the pedal box and tested the microswitch, and then cleaned off the contacts with spray electronic cleaner. It appears to work properly when the pedal is pressed. In the morning I plan on replacing Molex connector with butt-splices, and then using the troubleshooting guide in the "chapterE.pdf" posted on this site....unless I find the smoking gun that is causing the issue.
