Unhappy serious and dangerous cart problem

I bought a cart that looks like a 32 ford. I have been having problems with it won't move stopped running etc... Found some lose wiring nothing to bad! Today car was running good parked it behind a friends truck. Got into move it turned switch on cart launched forward into the truck even moving the truck forward. Turned key off and heard a loud boom sounded like a backfire. I was sure the cart was dead put it in reverse turned the key on and it shot backwards. I opened the back seat expecting to see flames only a light smell of hot transformed. The nearest I can tell the cart is a club car with an in closed controller. It also has three solenoids. I don't wiring diagram or numbers on parts.... Can anybody help me out?
Sick in Fl!!!

Can you post a picture of said cart, specifically some of the wiring, the controller for determining drive system style and a shot of the overall cart so we can tell what sort of cart base (CC, EZ, etc...) we're dealing with and narrow a year for you?

That looks Club Car-ish, but the electronics are unlike any I've ever seen. (that doesn't mean much haha) Rear end definitely not CC, my first thought goes to Emerald, a Chinese copy of a CC DS. Above the gas pedal and to the middle or right slightly, under the dash, is there a VIN tag? That's where they are on the DS models.

Cool looking body on the cart, BTW

No Vin number.
Thinking about getting rid of the electronics and putting a cc controller etc...hopefully I won't have to buy a new motor. What do you think? Any ideas out there?

Wow, no wonder the local golf cart shop was so confused with it. All they could do was tell me them had never seen such a messed up cart, of course they managed to charge me $300 for their expert option..
Thanks for all the help. Am sure we will be talking more.
