Power on both small posts of solenoid

I ran the jumper. The solenoid will click as soon as I turn the key switch on and it’s in gear, forward or reverse. As soon as I hit the pedal the solenoid clicks again and I’m loosing power to the + side of the solenoid as soon as I hit the pedal. I was thinking it could be the micro switch in the vglide so I just hooked those wires together to eliminate the switch and it does the same thing.
If the cart is in neutral the solenoid don’t click when I turn the switch on, only when it’s in gear

48.5v. The charger won’t come on either when I plug it in.

Thats only 50% charged...Put your meter on pack positive and pack neg...Key on..in forward..pedal pressed...What does the voltage drop to...

48.4 is what it drops to.
Another question, so when the Solenoid is engaged, I know it sends power through the big yellow wire on the big post on the solenoid to the controller. Should all 4 post on the motor have voltage on them then, or just when the pedal is pushed? I have 48.5 on all 4 post.

This thread is 2 years old… Jr, why don’t u answer why you changed F/R and solenoid so we might be able to help you. Otherwise keep searching for what you want to hear [emoji23] I’m sorry…. I should just be quiet, but something isn’t adding up here.

I replaced my solenoid switch and f/R because after it stopped working I figured I might have messed something up from washing it figured I tried to do the research to fix it and everyone was saying with my symptoms those parts where most likely so they were cheap enough and I bought both and replaced them and I'm still having the same symptoms so I tried to find help here on what else it could be or what to test. Sorry for any miscommunication
