i tried holding the brake and listening for the clicks but could not here any.cart seems to be one speed, FAST ONLY. removed the ground strap common to all five solenoids, then as i ease the accelerator slowly i can count four clicks. i did find a bad battery on the passenger side with a SOLAR BAT. CHECKER . voltage checked good but when i pressed the load button voltage dropped to zero. i feel that the wiring may be the culprit but so far i can't locate a diagram

THANKS GUYS..... cart running smooth now the final fix was a bad #5 selenoid stuck in the on position, again thanks to all for all the help.

Just to clarify alittle ...glad you found the bad solenoid but, solenoid click testing should be done with the cart on jack stands not with the brakes locked and the battery that did not load test good i tshould be replaced with another equally aged battery in good condition......good luck with the cart.

I didn't tell him to "lock" the brake, I told him "slight" pressure on the brake.
