Possible
This is really confusing since the 5 solenoid setup does not have a VGlide and the VGlide looks nothing like a speed switch box.

That is a one of a kind cart...

Assuming this is a single solenoid and v-glide setup, can't the micro in the v-glide be wired wrong at the tabs be causing this too?

If it is the single Solenoid with the resistors and high current Vglide, the only likely possibility is that the Solenoid is welded.

Otherwise 3 safety devices would have to fail at the same time: Key switch, FNR limit switch and pedal micro-switch.

That's right he said key off.

I'm not saying the solenoid is not bad, but it seems to me I screwed one of these up wiring it one time.

If the key switch was wired backward and the micro is wired wrong, wouldn't that activate the solenoid when in F or R?

He did just put a new key switch in.

Here’s a couple photos to clear up the confusion on how our cart is equipped. Also double checked the vin plate and it’s a 1992 model year.

That is what I was thinking and since the problem started with a working cart and not immediately after you made a bunch of wiring changes, a stuck Solenoid is the most logical diagnosis.

Roxyflash- that’s the pier wire for my after market lights. I disconnected it. It was hooked up to two of my batteries but I figure it’s best if I just get the voltage reducer hooked up for the lights. That way I don’t burden just two batteries prematurely.
