Are the cables disconnected?

Measued with cables removed and continuity seems correct.

I measured voltage on the controller between B- and M-, and there's nothing when the pedal is pushed.

Any time you use an Ohmmeter or continuity checker, you want to isolate the item being measure to eliminated parallel paths.

The stator is connected between B & D.

Edited my previous post, but:

There is nothing when the pedal is pressed just enough for solenoid to click? Or, there is nothing when the pedal is “on the floor”?

It should read pack Voltage when pedal slightly pressed. As it is pressed farther, the voltage reading should drop down until it reads nothing or close to nothing when the pedal is “on the floor”.

There is no voltage at any pedal position, even right after the solenoid clicks.

Leave the negative test lead connected to B- at the controller and use the positive test lead to find the missing voltage.

So, if I am not mistaken there should be pack voltage on all of the following when the pedal is pressed.

Negative lead on B- Positive lead on each of the follwing:

Solenoid (Battery side) Volts?

Solenoid (controller side) Volts?

Positive lead on B+ of controller. Volts?

2 Large Contacts of F/R switch when in forward (different two when in reverse but I am not sure which ones does which). (AB in forward and AD in Reverse??? not sure) Volts?

Then it goes through the motor back to the M- on the controller.

Where ever you find the missing voltage is a problem. I hope I got this right.

JB and Georgia, thank you both for all the help so far. I'm confident we'll figure this out.

EDIT: I'm an idiot and was measuring from A2, not B-. This labeling on this thing is very old and worn.

So remeasuring, and I'm reading pack voltage from B- to all the contacts Georgia mentioned.

Now that I'm measuring off the correct B- terminal, I tested voltage again to M-. There is almost nothing when pedal is up. Then it jumps to full pack voltage when pedal is just pressed, and remains at full voltage pressing the pedal all the way to the floor.
