Default 2014 ezgo rxv lightning strike

Lightning hit really close to something at my farm so close it made my remote control cart winch turn on by itself and run. Cart stays at farm 2 hours away from me. I just got here I'm trying to post a video if I can. What's happening. Key turned on reading 52 volts when key is put in any selection R N F cart lurches ( like when the brake is going out)and that's it. Pedal is doing nothing. Also in any selection buzzer is sounding at a steady tone of. Buzz,,,,,buzz,,,,,buzz,,,,buzz. Winch on cart attached to it's own battery does not work, led lights on that battery do work. Led charge gauge to key switch in dash works. No fuses under tow/run switch cover blown. I'm still digging though cart looking for any obvious scorched wires or anything any suggestions greatly appreciated thanks.

Put it in Tow and in N can you push it? Also check fuses under controller cover.

All fuses are good. When put in tow and N cart can be pushed.

I checked fuses under the plastic cover that holds the tow run switch. Can you take the actual controller cover off also? Is that the fuses your talking about just making sure.

You can take the Christmas tree clips out and move the cover around. But there are wire attached to the cover.

Check and see if the controller is sending 48v back to the brake. Check this at the brake plug.

Ok so the cart had to be left up there I had to come back. Everything I know is that in the very first post on here and it's got a new solenoid in it that's working. The cart still just gave a lurch when key turned and the buzzer still a continuous buzz buzz buzz. Pack voltage was fine charger coming on and off fine. Didnt have time to dig into the controller itself. The brake did release when swapping #3 plug to 1 cart could be pushed that way. Also moved in N and tow mode.

It's likely a motor brake issue or the controller was spiked by the lightning strike and had inputs damaged.
