Take the F/R handle while you have the gas pedal pressed to engage the solenoid wiggle the handle back and forth. Don't jerk it just easly wiggle.
They get hot a warp and loose conntact. Look at the cam and make sure all the nuts are tight.

Try jumping the 2 large posts on the solenoid with a 6ga cable. If the cart moves replace the solenoid.

If you are testing the motor with a volt meter on the neg of the battery and pos on the terminals of the motor, you will show power to all four terminals. It seems to me you may have something hooked up wrong, or possibly a controller problem.

Question

Man if you give details like this it's a lot better. Spinning wheels with a heavy load like that! You burnt the motor out of it more than likely are the controller are both.

I'd say you fried it. Check the F/R contactors and see if they are all burnt up. I'll be surprised if they aren't.

Yes, that does appear to be a valuable detail you left out.

My guess is your controller is toast.....

To add to that, when you are checking voltage on an electric cart you need to check at the battery. Electric carts do not use the frame for any electrical connections including the ground.
If you want to take the time to diagnose and have some patience we can probably walk you through it.

We're here to help as much as we can.
Has the cart been modified in any way or is it completely stock?
Maybe start by posting up your total pack voltage and each individual battery voltage and we can go from there.

Jack the cart back wheels off the ground and put a cable on the 2 big terminals and then try it. If it works the solenoid is bad.
Just because it clicks doesn't mean much.

Another test take a volt reading on the small terminals one with key off and one with it on and see if it's passing voltage.

Make sure all the cables are good and tight. Pull on each one of them good. If they are good and tight then a good pull want hurt them. If they are loose are fixing to come apart you will find it.
