3 wheel ez go takes off as soon as F&R is selected

[interstate]

Got the cart working...

replaced the throttle linkage micro switch. Found the existing one had a badly bent roller arm. Also the switch was dead.

Then replaced the reverse micro switch. It was sporadic.

Finally, I replaced the solenoid. The small terminal that accepts the power from the key switch seems to have been overtightened and was spinning internally, which may explain why it was also intermittent and would not engaged properly.

That wire going to the first coil was about 90% severed and also touching the coil mounting plate with the frayed wires. Someone had wired the cart with automotive lights and signals, so they had made the chassis and body a common ground. I replaced that wire, too.

All is good. Thanks for your help, and I hope this information will be of some use to others in the future.
