Replacing the solenoid in a TXT PDS

[BellyAcres]

I'm pretty sure the solenoid has gone out on one of my carts. I don't hear any click when I press the pedal. My model info:

Model TXT PDS
Date Code B0310
Serial 2677772

Any idea how to interpret that date code?

Is it possible to install a solenoid that is compatible with 36 and 48 volts, in case I want to do the conversion later on?

Looking for any suggests for performance enhancements.

Chances are the solenoid is okay. The PDS controller supplies both B+ (Yellow wire from J1 Pin-7) and B- (Blue wire from J1 Pin-6) to the solenoid and all the wires highlighted in red on the attached schematic has to have battery pack voltage (38.2V for a fully charged 36V pack) on them for the solenoid to click.

The cart cut off on me as I was going up a steep hill.

I'm only reading 18 volts out of my batteries. However, when I remove the battery lead from the positive terminal, I read 22 volts. Do I have a leaky resistor maybe?
