You are lucky that wrench/fuse didnt burn the crap out of your hand (like flesh stuck to wrench).

Considering that I'm leaving for a cruise on Sunday that would've sucked REALLY bad.

I've read not to put a ground onto the cart. Should it connect to a negative or positive on the battery? That's the my only uncertainty.

Yes, never connect any wiring to the frame on a cart. Should what connect to pos or neg? The solenoid connects to Pos, and controller.

The ground. It's currently connected to the positive battery terminal in the pic above.

In the absence of common connections on the frame, or a centralized connection point, i wouldnt call it a "ground". Its Negative or Positive to me. The large terminals on the relay are nearly always Positive, including every ezgo i typically see (odd exceptions exist, like old harley carts).

I think we are getting closer to the problem. Where does this wire you call the ground go to besides the + main battery ?

Sorry guys. I saw green and thought "ground". I didn't get a lot of time to look at it last night but it looked like it ran back up front into the dash area.
