The solenoid is in there as well, so you can check that to see if it's clicking.
Also there's a micro-switch in there on the throttle cam, you may be hearing that click if it's a very faint click.

There's a yellow wheel on the back of the FnR switch. Pull it out and spin it 180° to put it in maintenance mode so you can do all of your testing with the cart in neutral.

Thanks, the fuse was fine and I was able to hear a click. You have been a lot of help, very much appreciated!

Well, it is the starter generator. Never seen one this dead, but it is. When I bypassed the solenoid, it faintly tried to turn when I manually tried to move the pulley.

Brushes and a clean up of the commutator should do the trick.

My daughter was driving my newly acquired 92 CC and it stopped with a loud squeal in the engine compartment. After many parts replaced, I couldn't get it to crank past the compression stroke. I had battery tested, and tested solenoid, and all was good. Took starter/alternator off to check brushes and found bearing locked up on the shaft. Modified a Harbor Freight three prong puller to get bearings off, and runs like a top. May not be your prob, but hope this may help someone else one day,

I got it running after rebuilding the starter/generator. This thing is a nightmare to work on since it has a box on the back that doesn't lift up. It is a nice cart though, I am impressed with the quality of the Club Car.
