What do I need to check when having this same issue only the cart stopped when wife was pulling in driveway. I came home 10 minutes later and pulled it right in. Next time it moved 6 inches and hasn't done anything since. The MCOR clicks but the solenoid doesn't. I am thinking bad solenoid. Which test should I do?

Check battery pack voltage first. Make sure it's fully charged, and make sure all the battery connections are clean and tight.

Jack the rear wheels of the cart up off the ground. (so it can't drive off while testing) Key On, F/R switch in F, press the pedal just until you hear the small click from the throttle switch. The Solenoid you should be able to hear and feel it click pretty loud.
If it doesn't click use a voltmeter to check voltage at the small terminals of the solenoid. Blue wire should have 48V with the Key On. Red meter probe on the Blue wire, Black meter probe on the Blue w/ white stripe. Press the throttle and you should get 48V across the small terminals. If you get 48v across, but No click, tap the solenoid a couple times with a wooden or plastic handle and see if it will click.
If you get 48v, but no click, remove the Blue/White stripe wire from the solenoid, set your meter to Ohms and see if there is resistance across the small terminals of the solenoid. If it reads O.L or 0 the solenoid has failed and needs to be replaced.
