the go pedal must be pressed to complete the circuit

if you follow the diagram you will see key gets 36v + from battery pack to f/r switch lug to key and then goes through f/r micro switch to solenoid
negative comes from pack negative to charger reciprocal lug to v-glide micro switch to solenoid

some wiring diagrams show key switch with a + & - sign

Ya that's what I thought something is shorted or something at the key and it's only receiving and sending 12 volts I'm gonna replace all that wiring and see what the hell is going on
