Micro switch wiring help

[dhanks89]

Alright so in this pic - I took the green wire off the solenoid and put it on the MS where the wire was missing - took the red wire that was hooked up to the battery to the reverse beeper and aftermarket lights and held it to the solenoid while hitting accelerator. The solenoid finally clicked and the cart acted like it wanted to move but it didn't go, you could feel it trying. PICs below

Tried to go but not enough umph?
The batteries look new, what is the voltage between the main + and -?

Yes sir, hooked charger up and it finally kicked on and charged up the new Gel battery's - it was going forward and backwards after a charge - then I hooked a wire back up to the relay in the second pic with the first red circle to the battery, turned the cart on then hit the light switch and now I don't get a click on my solenoid anymore - grr should've left the lights alone and required them later

37v between the bank

This is where the skinny red wire was hooked up to.

Scotty b, after moving the wires around and giving the batteries a charge, I hooked up a wire (after the cart actually was going forward and reverse) I hooked a wire back up in place of the skinny reds wire - that wire supplied power to the back alarm which still works if in reverse with a power supply, but it also gave power to the lights somehow. Light switch was ties into the key switch to where the lights wouldn't come on unless key was on.

Well after I did that and sat on the cart ready to take it for a spin, I turned the main switch to ON the turned the lights to ON. Lights came one saw blue flickering reflection, turned lights off, turned them back on blue flickering again and then they went out and cart won't move nor will solenoid click.....

Bank showing 38v on my meter but it's probably 37.5. I've ordered another solenoid in hopes that one could be bad somehow. I can't seem to find one exactly like it. I ordered a 36v for this cart and they look nothing alike. I am willing to bet someone stuck 12v solenoid on the cart..

Basically in the second diagram I need to take a wire, hook it where the MS is missing one, then hook that to the big terminal on the solenoid that stays hot?

Yes, connect the terminal with the missing wire to the solenoid's large terminal that has the cable from the main positive battery terminal.

The solenoid activation circuit is a bit strange since B+ goes through the pedal switch while B- goes through the keyswitch and the microswitches on the F/R assembly.

Hopefully none of the switches were blown when you moved the green wire.

Ok I'll try that.. thanks.. I'll have to get a wire tomorrow. Don't have any just laying around lol
