Default 48v conversion won’t move

Looking for some help with my conversion. I have recently converted my 36v to 48 with scottys kit. Got it all together and tested it on jack stands numerous times both direction and worked great. The next day I sat it down on the ground and got ready for a road test and now it won’t move. Solenoid clicks but will not move forward or backward now and I didn’t change anything. Controller light is green also. Any help on what to check.

If it ran on jack stands but won't now it sounds like a bad connection somewhere. Retrace and double check all your connections. Also, what's your battery voltage?

I have 49 on the main post of solenoid and I’m showing 47.6 coming out of the solenoid and at all my connections.

Also look to see if the controller LED is throwing any one of the many fault codes listed in the back of the operator manual

Check your pack voltage and all cables.

Main negative and main positive I’m showing 49.x volts. All
My cables are tight in the pack, on motor, controller, and f/r switch. I’m getting 47v on both sides of the f/r switch at all times, is that correct? I was thinking I was supposed to only have power going down the wire of the direction the switch was in.

Should the controller light turn solid green when the key is turned on? I have nothing when I turn the key on but when I press the pedal it flashed green 3 times then goes to solid green, if I press it wide open it goes to a orange color.

That is the correct response from the controller LED status light at the right time for this kit.
1. Is the solenoid clicking? If no remove one side of the small diode and try to go.
2. The meter should read 48v when the test leads are on the solenoid 2 small terminals and the controller LED is green. The Positive side comes from the pedal blue wire and the neg. side can come from the controller J1 black... or if that is not working move this wire to the controller B-.

Solenoid is clicking with every press of the pedal. I checked both terminals and do have 48v on each terminal when the pedal is pressed
