Installed new set of deka batteries once they were installed I tested the controller and found it would not supply the ground to activate the solenoid. Ordered a FSIP FX203 to replace controller. Installed new controller when It showed up and tested. Cart drives great! Only one small issue, the solenoid stays engaged causing a draw on the system and a faint high pitched squeal. The only way to get the solenoid to disengage is to flip the tow/run switch to tow. I have eliminated the foot switch and the ITS. On the small blue wire on the solenoid it reads 37.9 before I active the solenoid and after the solenoid engages and stays it reads between. .9 and 1.1 volts. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Here is the problem here > I have eliminated the foot switch

You can't do that - the foot switch is a simple on-off trigger for the solenoid and the controller control panel.
