the solenoid still clips but cart wont move it started when wife went to move and it made a sizzling noise and has not move since checked all cables look good and tight

Re: 96 ezgo 36volt wont go
 

I am guessing now, but maybe it is a series cart. Shifter by your knee, no toggle switch on the controller cover. The sizzling noise came from the F&R switch, it sounds like low level arc welding. It is the burning contact sound.
Pull the cover and see if one of the contact lugs and cable look like they got hot, discolored or melted jacket.

Try wiggling the shifter handle with the peddle depressed and see if the cart lurches forward? or back ?

im sorry first time on here yes shifter is by the knee and there is a toggle switch for tow and run and the F&R has two micro switches

DCS cart ...... hopefully you can find a loose connection someplace in the high amperage delivery system. Start inspecting the end of every cable..... give them a tug and twist test,too.

scottyb is right.. I went through this with my 96 DCS.. I checked every cable. except for the ones that attach to the motor.. I found a cable that had burned loose back there. I also went through this 1 other time and it was infact a reed swtich.. I just jumped across it, installed a inline 10 amp fuse and have never had a problem with it since.. Knock on wood.. :lhmo:

Having same issue. Changed out FR component, had burned up, now still won't go. What is reed switch?

Reed switch is a safety fuse in the charge receptacle which interrupts the power supply when the charger is plugged in.
If it fails you have no power to the cart ignition system.
Here is a pic from one of my old carts

What is the purpose of the reed switch?
