Default 96 DS 48v

I need some direction folks with an electric club car. Its a 96 48v ds. It ran fine for a long time but just prior to it taking a crap for good there was a time where it didn't take off right away but for lack of a better word pumped the pedal it would take off then eventually nothing which is where we are at at the moment. The cart belongs to a good friend who dropped it off yesterday, I am a gas club cart guy but I said I would give it a shot. What I know so far the cart spent last night on the charger, each battery is carrying 8 volts. I am at the moment leaning towards the solenoid because I hear nothing, I do hear what sounds like a micro switch when the gas pedal is depressed. This is an unmolested club car bone stock. Like I said I need some direction as I am in uncharted territory

Sounds like throttle circuit not activating solenoid.

Check voltage at solenoid activation wires. May be a bad switch in throttle.

I believe all connections are tight. How much voltage should come into the battery side of the solenoid?(its a 48V cart) Which control wire on the solenoid should I be testing? what am I looking for Voltages wise? when I press the accelerator or not? I'm green as grass on these electric carts. Can someone give me a link for a wiring diagram ser A9626506776.
I appreciate all the help folks I'm listening and trying to follow just tell me what to do

Your wiring diagram should be in the Stickys.

I know exactly what you need to do. Get a multimeter, a jumper wire about 3 feet long with alligator clips on both ends, and a cell phone. Dial 706-836-7210 tomorrow morning and call me. We will most definitely find the problem.

Think we've found the problem. He called me and we ran some tests. No voltage to solenoid. Found broken red wire at #1 battery positive.
