DPI chargers are my favorite. Very simple. Check that full battery voltage is at the female charger receptical. Check AC power also. I have seen DC wires connections in the male connector melt, unscrew the handle halves and check that. Let us know what you find.

I'll have to get A volt meter before I left the golf cart shop they tested all the battery's and they were all 8.3 volts when the charger is plugged into wall socket should there be at least a standby light on charger?

Have you hooked the charger to the cart yet? Plug it into the wall then the cart. Then hopefully one of the green lights will flash for a while then start charging.

You must have AC power and at least 45 volt battery voltage for the charger to even know it's plugged into a car. May be as simple as a bad relay. I'm going to wait for your volt meter tests.

If its the charger, call DPI, they are good to deal with. Usually the only failure ia the control board in the charger, much cheaper than a whole new one. Dont buy a board for that OEM dpi charger off the internet, its different than the common board (custom spec for yamaha). That charger is uncommon, its capable of 36 & 48v.
