Question Can't move at all - Help

I have a 1997 CC (serial # A97) it is a 4 x 12 V cart

Was running, stopped for 5 minutes and now can't get this moving,

batteries are fully charged on my multi-meter.

No clicking or any noise.

Is there a step by step process of elimination?

Did you convert it to 12v batteries? A 97 should have six 8v batts...
Does the reverse buzzer sound when in reverse? Do you hear a click when you step on the gas?

It had 4 x 12 when i got it, been running for a few months.

No buzzer, never was one.

No click when depressing gas pedal

It has a grey plastic box for a controller.

When I let off the gas down hill it acts like a regen but no regen switch.

I see 4 posts on the motor and a small pigtail.

Thanks

Ok, does it have a Run/Tow switch under the seat?
If the little pigtail comes off the end of the motor, that is the speed sensor, which is for regen braking...

No switch, looked very well.

Previous owner may have removed it???

The F/R switch is toggle not a lever type like I have on my 2000

My '96 Regen 1 has no run/tow switch - not sure if early '97's might not have had one either. But your controller sounds different. Mine is Black "T" shaped. Somehow a relay is attached to the key switch on mine which performs the run/tow function when switched on. But, my motor does have a pigtail which connects to the controller (Regen function). If you have a rocker switch F/W it is absolutely a Regen model (though it might have been modified).

Mine clicks when I turn the key on AND when I press the goPedal. However, I have an aftermarket Solenoid and Controller. Not sure I remember when it was stock - hope that helps.

Did I leave that out? Crap! Thank you for the catch! I meant to put that in there. There is a chance of things sticking and the cart running off. lol
