Default Medalist Altrax installation help

I recently bought a Altrax controller and started to install it this afternoon. I have a few questions.
1. My old controller had 4 post, A2 M- B+ B-, and the controller only has 3. Where do I connect the old A2 connection?
2. do I connect everything else pretty much where they came off?
3 does the thin black wire that was connected to the B- post coming from the solenoid, does that now get connected somewhere else or does it still connect to the B- post on the new controller?

Thanks in advance

Ran into this when I swapped controllers also. I was told to just put a bolt through the old cable end that ran to A2 and insulate. It's not hooked to anything now and yes everything else is still wired the same.

Well I hooked it up with the M- and everything else the same as the other. The cart still doesn’t move, solenoid clicks but no movement. I am going to disconnect the A2 cable to see if anything happens

A2 on the motor essentially goes to C on the FnR switch. Diagram is here https://alltraxinc.com/wp-content/up...O-Wire-Dia.pdf

Well I just found that one of the post on my FnR switch was corroded to the point that it broke off. I had opened another post when the cart stopped working, https://www.buggiesgonewild.com/showthread.php?t=168718, and maybe this was the reason all along. I am going to purchase a new switch and start all over once it gets here.

If you are reusing your old cables you need to take both cables that were on the A2 post of the old controller and connect them together with a nut and bolt and insulate the connection.

Well, I changed out the FnR switch and connected everything back except for the A2 going to the controller and the cart worked fine. Thank you all for the help.
