Default Please help, got a problem with my DCS cart

99 ezgo dcs cart. I guess it is now an intermittent problem. It started last week, the cart just stopped working toward the end of a ride. A couple hours of on and off work a my hunting club. Nothing strenuous. Rode fine all day then it was like the gas pedal stop working. SOC meter showed about 3/4 charge, controller showed power and blinked properly on cycling power and nothing was hot to touch. So I loaded up and carried home.
Next day tried it and it ran fine. Took short stroll around neiborhood with no problems. Since then. The controller cycles power when I change from forward to reverse and sounds like the solenoid clicks when I turn on key or change from forward and reverse. But solenoid doesn't really click on pressing the gas pedal. I couldn't remember if it was that way before, but noticed it now.
Well today it has encountered that problem again, like the pedal is bad. I swapped pedal microswitch, and tested old one with meter and is properly working. I tested each pin on controller like explained in the sticky on DCS troubleshooting and each pin shows power. Not sure if correct voltage, but has power.
Where do I go from here??
I am guessing either solenoid, controller, or something in the pedal. I have a spare "parts" cart with those parts, but wanted to check the experts opinions first.
Batteries are fully charged, cart has Alltrax dcs300, I'm assuming standard solenoid but has the diode between the inner posts and that circuit on outer post.
Thanks for your input.

With Run/Tow in Run, Keyswitch ON and F/R in either F or R. you should have B+ (full battery pack voltage) on Pins 6, 9 and 10 on the controller.
Then, when throttle pedal is pushed, you should get B+ on pin-5 also and Solenoid should click.

If you have B+ on pins 5, 6, 9, & 10, but solenoid is not activated, either the wire between solenoid and Pin-7 of controller is bad, or the controller is bad, or the solenoid coil is bad.
