I hope someone can help me in clear newbie terms.
I replaced solenoids on this old cart I picked up. It had White Rogers on it and I got OEM off someone parting a cart.
My problem is, the wiring diagram has me confused.

Can someone look at this and tell me what is incorrect and where it should go?
My negative battery starts over heating and the coil heats excessively even with key off/on or harness unplugged. I have to remove the negative cable really quick!

Ok, what I have is this:

A1 to top of coil
A2 to negative battery
F1 to bottom to Reverse Closed end Solenoid
F2 to top of Forward Open end solenoid

Closed end Fwd Solenoid has cable from top of coil, end by controller.

Battery Positive and red charging wire on bottom of rev solenoid on open end.

What am I doing wrong?
